Notes
runners world 5k... 19:01, 4th female. Felt pretty relaxed about this race, not super nervous or anything. Typical warmup, probably like 2 miles with the 20/40 thing last 5 minutes. I did not get to do any strides because they wouldn't let us run off the line - so that was annoying. Race went out in 6:04.. i was first female at that point. The mile had some uphills, so it was a little slower than I thought it was going to be. Second mile was also 6:04, some down hill. During the 3rd mile the 3rd place girl passed me and I should have stayed diwth her but I didn't, that was the one mistake I felt I made in the race. I needed to go with her.. even if she still beat me, I would've easily got under 19. I need to work on stayed focused in the middle-late in the race. I am doing the phoenixville 5k next week, maybe I will do some sort of workout like that. I overall thought it was a good race and I did not feel as destroyed the next day like I did with rock and roll. I think I am going to have a break out race in a few weeks.
