Notes
Overall a pretty good race....I was hoping for about 10-15 seconds faster, but I wont complain about a 1:05 PR!
That said, I went out too hard .... although I'm not alone in that ... Brandy, Shawn & Ron all said they did too. It was just tough because it was a big crowd of non-racers at the front, all mixed in with fast people. We all lined up near the front and it was tough to not get bowled over if you didnt go fast. I think if I had conserved a little more up front, I would've had more at the end .... no negative split today for sure. The hill in the last mile wasnt so fun either ... it wasnt huge, but it was enough to poop my legs out.
I definitely feel like on a better day I could go faster. This was a really tiring week at work, with all the travel early in the week, then tons of physical labor on Thurs & Fri. I was on my feet all day both days, lifting and moving things in the planogram rooms at Target, and I was feeling it today. I think I did my best with my energy levels and training, but room to grow, which is always good.
I will be curious to see what the official results are; it was non-chip timed, and there was a huge backup at the finish line to take the litte tag thing.
