Total Distance
4.00

A rainy morning for a race. Actually it was not bad at all. After 1/2 mile I could tell this was not going to be my day. At the halfway mark I was still doing about what I did last year but could tell I was losing it. Not that I was going too fast I just flat didn't have any energy! From that point I lost it mentally and ran when I felt like it and took 15-20 second walks whenever I was weak...that was 7 times!!!! I am disappointed with the lack of fight today- Last year I won the age group and ran 1 minute slower this year.

My legs did much better than I had thought they would after all the pain this past week. No pain but also no speed. I think I need a good cheater course with lots of downhill to get me excited again....lol...no really!

Scott, character comes out on the tough days. You showed what you're made of today. I'm just amazed at your consistency and your prodigious racing record. If someone puts on a race, you're there with your shoes on.

Without the zapped energy levels, you would have been sniffing a PR. Keep on keeping on.

Or maybe I just need to come run behind you with a cattle prod and give you a good shocking everytime you stop to walk. Good work!
