Notes
Don't really want to count this one. Still in good shape, still ready to run fast, not going to let it bother me. As late as yesterday I was feeling good and calling a fast time (OFBOC to confirm) but I came down with a little something last night. Nothing terrible, your usual sore throat, headache, runny nose, etc. Should be gone quick, but it was enough to mess me up some today, even though I tried my hardest to ignore it. Oh well, bad timing.
Anyway, felt dizzy after strides in the morning, and breathing was tough. Pre-race strides were better but I felt very off still. Sounds stupid but I was worried about pushing too hard and passing out or something, so jumped to last to kind of test the waters. Eventually started feeling better (or at least more confident that I wasn't going to die) and picked off a few people. Couldn't really kick this week, was already low on energy and the wind especially didn't help on the last 200. Time is slow but was seeded 10 and finished 10 so slow times all around? Didn't do too terribly in comparison to others on an off day so that's okay I guess. Splits roughly 50 70 71 70 but don't quote me on that.
Anyway, no johns it was a slow race but I'll be fine for next weekend. 4:11 or bust.
