Today was a fiasco. The race started well, but my legs were burning cuz of the cold weather. However, about half a mile in I was settling into a good groove and really though I could hold on to 2nd place the whole race. However, the lead pack i was with got lost as the course was terribly marked. We ended up running ABOUT 2.5 miles, not for sure on that. My official race time was 13:55 but like i said that was about 2.5 miles. After we had to stop and turn around and find different ways back to the finish, I was demoralized and dropped a few places back to 4th where i ended up--totally took me out of my rythym. The organizers were friendly and nice people, so im not mad, just wish I could have got a legit 5k time to see where I stand as far as training goes. O well, at least the racing season is off and going! |
