Notes
Race went well. Didn't eat before, but it was an early race so that turned out fine. Wanted to go 6,550,540,530,520, but that didn't work out. We started out in the back because gabe and smitty wanted to go to the bathroom. I usually like to start slightly back, but we were more than 3 minutes back. So the first mile we had some amazing weaving and got a 630. We were probably running a lot faster than this and with the weave, more. I'm surprised we got that fast. While running this we decided to change up and just do the last 4 miles tempo. Then I ran a 530, instead of a 550, because I'm aweful at pacing. Then we decided that instead of try to continue we just shouldn't slow down. I picked up the pace still and probably did 510s or 515s for the last 3. Maybe even faster.
After running I got lost from the group and walked to the car. After waiting 20 or so minutes they also came to the car and we drove home. Then I had thankgiving dinner and ran again at 4. This was an aweful run. I drank a lot of orange soda during dinner, so ended up needed to go really badly. Unfortunately I didn't pass any woods for a while. I ended up oneing and twoing under an overpass behind a pillar. Fortunately only one car came by and I think they didn't see me. Still, an awful experience and, although I will probably do it next year too, I've got to remember to drink less and go before I leave.
