Notes
We have now reached the beginning of the end...
First race of the season, it was sure quite interesting to see the inaugural race for chanhassen, glad we showed them up in a good fashion...
Really overslept this morning, woke up and looked at the clock and it said it was 7:15!!! Quickly burst out of the house without a shakeout run or even breakfast!!! Didnt have headphones on the crampt bus either (we had to ride with chan since ours didnt show up!)
got to the race, warmed up and what not, and so the race began...
Got out very strong and competitive, almost a little too fast considering i did go out in 4:58!!! Alec and Kemal were in close contention with me for a while throughout the first mile, as i was hearing constant cheers for all of us. the course was pretty damp from the rain earlier, so some parts were kinda slick. Made it over to the soccer fields and it seemed like i had a pretty good gap on kemal, alec by this time was starting to fade off... As I went through the two mile, i woud start feeling a little sick, probably because i didnt have ANYTHING TO EAT this moring... As I went through the woods loop the last time, I was really starting to feel sick and the pressure that kemal was probably gonna catch me. As I was going down the hill up towards the finish, i decided to be a dumbass and give a few high fives, never doing that again!! Finally kemal caught me with about 200 to the finish, i feebly ran to the finish wihout any kick at all and immediately threw up nothing but water....
Neverthe less this raec was still veyr good considering i course pr'ed by like 30 seconds. athough this is the last time i will ever run this!!! :(
