I'm not in the results because they ran out of numbers and they wouldn't give me a pre-registered number (if you're lining up at the start line and they haven't showed up, they're not going to). I should have run through the finish anyway. I was battling with a high school kid who surged every time I got on his shoulder. Fun stuff. I figured I would put in a decent kick at the end and give myself a chance, but then Levi passed me (was James' roommate, coached now by Tony from NAU) and passed the young kid. I started wheezing before we'd hit 2 laps around the park (Liberty Park). I wasn't expecting the finish to be another half mile and then into the middle of the park so I was dying at the end. Weaving in and out of walkers/joggers and making them wonder why a guy is making so much noise :-) This is just motivation to get my butt out there and train. My time is decent compared to my weight-193 but both need to drop. Can't wait until I get humiliated next week at Magna! |
