So evidently ramen noodles,salad,yogurt,peanuts(yea I know junk) is ok pre race dinner lol. I met Joe and Molly at Liberty park and we drove up to the start. I did a condensed warm up then a few strides/sprints. I really didn't expect too much today was hoping to be around 41:00 or so but other than that no pressure. From the start I was repeating to myself fast and relaxed trying not to go out too terribly fast. Mile one came fast I reminded myself to keep a good form and light on my feet. Miles two and three was feeling good,through the couple rollers then down south temple. Mile four only a couple more keep it together. Starting to.pass people who went out too fast,I was feeling the race but not bonking yet. Mile five keep pushing almost there,I didn't want to jinx it so I was not watching my Garmin on purpose so I could just go by feel. Mile six lactic acid building up a bit now legs feeling heavier but I am almost done. Pushing through the finish at 39:05 I did it even though I had not expected to pr I did by 2 minutes WOO HOO. |
