Notes
Such a ball buster of a course. Ran it stupid in an attempt for the big PR. First mile 5:09. At this point it was me and the damn triathlete guy. Only he went through 1 mile in 4:45...
Hit two miles at 10:44 and I'm thinking "this is it. I feel good. I can PR!"
Got jazzed and started ramping it up. Got to the base of the hill in 13:50. Just had to run the last half mile in 3 minutes...
Then I locked up.
That was it...game over. It was like one of those dreams where you are trying so hard to move and you can't go anywhere. I saw my window for 16:50 closing almost instantly. Triathlete ran 16:08. As I came jogging into the final stretch, pretty much packed in the run at this point, I see him smiling. Guy didn't even look out of breath.
Agh well.
