I was thought I was excited to run this race and ready to preform close to last years time. I thought I did everything well, eating, sleeping etc... I had a .7 mile warm up and was ready to go. For some reason last week on my 5K I didn't have that mental toughness and the fighting desire. This week not to many miles into the run I could tell I didn't have it again. It's like I'm missing my normal fight/desire. Chemical imbalance? Depressed? Maybe I needed to watch Rocky or something before the race.
The race started off with the temp about 59' according to the car. I don't think it warmed up at all during the race. The wind was a blowing pretty good. but not enough to effect the race as much as my time comparing to last year.
After the first mile I was in 11th place. After 2nd mile I was in 9th. I moved to 8th and 7th and 6th during miles 3-11. Then I got passed during mile 12. My left quad started showing signs of cramping up with about 1.5 to go but not a problem because not enough miles left for it to cramp up hard. I had 3 guys in my site in front of me the last 2 miles and didn't have the desire to get them??? My last years time would have got me a 3rd place.
