Notes
St. Patrick's Day 10K race in Clarkston, WA. Weather was cloudy, a few sprinkles but not wet, little to no wind, and about 54 F.
My time was 41:51, my goal was 43:00 or better, and A+ goal was 42:11. This age-grades to 79.1%, so very pleased with the results!
Splits: 6:32, 6:43, 6:57, 7:06, 6:52, 6:53, 1:17
Alex was 1st place over-all, Pete was 2nd place over-all, and I was 4th place over-all and 3rd place male over-all. Could not quite catch up to the young lady in front of me.
I woke up last night with calf cramps in both legs, and they were sore in the morning, but I walked it off. Now they're sore again after racing. Didn't slow me down too much while running though. Probably caused by taking Lisinopril and Tadalafil at the same time last evening? Don't do that again!
I collapsed at the finish line after sprinting in, worse than ever, and had to be dragged off the course. My legs just disappeared from beneath me and I faded out. This is ridiculous. It wasn't from shortness of breath or heart issues, but might be from a sudden drop in blood pressure after stopping. Recovered fine after 15-20 minutes of sitting. Went out for pizza afterwards with the group.
