Today was the 15k. I didn't get any warmup in, and to make it worse I got to the startline right at 10, but they had started the race 2 minutes earlier!!! That makes me mad. It was so cold and snowy! I just was having a bad day. I went much slower than I had planned. But for a lot of it I feel like I was just running it, not racing. Then at the turn around the wind was strong and I lost a lot of motivation, so for the next couple of miles I had in my head how much this sucked and how much I hated the wind and the snow and kept getting really mad when my sweatshirt hood wouldn't do what I wanted it to, or when my sunglasses fogged up. Then about 1.5 miles left some guy started to move on me and I decided I would suck it up and pick up the pace. It probably wasn't that great of a pace still, but it WAS faster. Then towards the end Bill ran with me and told me to stick on him. It was a little faster, and then right at the end I was able to outkick someone. I feel like if I had a proper start and if I had people around me that were my same speed I would've done a lot better. Then I did cool down with Bill until we saw Dakota and Kim in the warm car and I jumped in, then finished to 11 a while later.
I'm just guessing what the time was |
