Notes
Um, yeah. That didn't work out so well.
Decided to pace with a chick that usually runs about a 22:10ish. We ran the first mile in 7:30ish which felt slow to me, but I'm all "Hey, I always go out too fast anyway!" Mile 2 came in right at 15:00 which was also felt like I wasn't really racing yet but actually okay considering the insane heat, but still.
So I'm right on this chick's tail and thinking "Oh for the love of God, pick it up!" and she totally and 100% STOPS at 2.2. I mean, stops and walks.
Then everything just kind of meh'd and I cruised in at the same pace, a little faster at the end. At least my splits were nearly perfect. But I definitely can not get a decent time unless I go out faster. Weather that's not 85 degrees at 7:00 a.m helps too. ........I'm trying to think of more excuses....... Give me a second.......Nope, that's it for today.
Won my age group and 5th Masters, but still. Looking forward to actually racing a race any day now.
