Notes
not sure what it is with with me and drinking before the races. was out with Divya at the Bulldog for about 6 hrs last night, got home around 11:30, a bit tired. legs were sore and a little drunk. woke up late for this run so didn't do any warm-up or stretching, but was ok.
first 5k was 17:20, 10k at 35:00. started with 5 guys going in the lead and I was about 25 meters behind trying to warm-up for the race in the race (since I'm an idiot) through mile 5. first two guys fell off (no surprise) and the third fell off around mile 6 or so (he was really young and had a fantastic time). Sat in 3rd place from about mile 6 onwards with nobody within a minute. I didn't think the two leaders could hold their pace and they did. I ran even splits with them to the finish, but it was my idiotic warm-up in the race that cost me a chance to go lower and they were too far ahead. with the miles this week and a decent warm-up I'm probably about a minute faster. with a taper, possibly 2. we'll see. a beautifully organized race.
