    Wow- very nice win!  I'm hoping that someday I can channel some of that LRB toughness when things get hard towards the end of a race.

      Sometimes the difference between a great race and a not so great one fighting back mentally.  It is something we talk about all the time; those damn mental demons.

        Thanks everyone!  It's back to the lab and getting my ass kicked at the track this week.  lol

              Nice form especially at the end!

               

              My last sprint form blows chunks...

                Somebody had to win, might as well be me. 

                 

                This point should have been stressed more in your report.  Don't get too nonchalant about winning races, son.

                 

                Great job, LRB!  Reading your recent reports just keeps reminding me that I really need to get to the track for speedwork.  I'm planning that later this week.

                 

                Seriously though, the race leader having to dodge 5K joggers and walkers seems totally asinine to me.  How could that happen?

                    Really great pic. I bet it was free, which is the best part.

                        Wow, that's really fast.   I can't believe you had to fight going through everyone like that.  How frustrating that had to have been.  Well, despite it, you did great.  Congratulations to you!

                            Knowing that poor form can cost you seconds per mile, which can cost you precious minutes overall, maintaining form even while in distress is something I have worked exhaustively on.  To the point where I do not even think about it consciously anymore.

                             

                            Looking at that pic I could not tell you a single thing about the moment captured there, which is a result of hours and hours and hours at the track practicing form and visualization.

                             

                            It is definitely worth the effort to work on that as once your form goes, everything else follows.

                              Thanks peeps!  That pic came from the race directors cell phone and no it did not cost me "eleventy trillion dollars"  lol

                                I have seen more free downloads lately.  Maybe it's a trend?
