PM:

very windy out there.My splits were all over the place. I felt like I raced well but in actuality my time was very slow. Hopefully this has more to do with the fact that it was windy and thus times were slow vs. I'm slow because I'm heavy or out of shape. I think it has to do with the wind. It also could have something to do with the fact that I've been stressed and slacking off the last part of last week.

This is actually the slowest I've ever run at this race but I feel like I raced well. That's odd. I was beaten by a Strava track club member, and a guy who used to be on the NYMJ track club. God I hope I can run faster than this at Shamrock.

I think your fitness is fine. Wind will really mess you up.

Yeah, you're crazy to think your fitness is off. I just re-looked at your workouts, and I believe you are selling yourself short. That being said, it does sound like your body- even if it was windy- might be telling you to throw a recovery week in (or half a week).
