Notes
this was just horrifying for me. Honestly I am embarrassed to even think of this race. Warmup I was cramping up which wasnt bad but it didnt carry over to the race so we didn't have that to worry about. The main reason why I am so upset about this race was simply this, I see everyone run pretty much sub 4:50 in my heat, the same guys who have been doing the same mileage, same abs, hips and lifting, same training as me. I was sick/injured last week, but I cross trained so that doesn't matter, I was sick on thursday but that was nothing just an upset stomach that I still was able to recover and run on. I could use these absences of me as excuses but then you see people like Brian and Leif who have been injured on and off and still they are able to run pretty good times. There is absolutely no excuse for saying I was tired after the 4x8 either because pretty much everyone in that heat ran the 4x8 as well. I finished the race 4:55, even though it wasn't as bad as the indoor meet (yikes 4:57), it was still bad and I just really need to find what I am not doing, the thing that is keeping me from being up there with that neuqua pack with my boys instead of chasing after them.
