Notes
WU: 2.5 miles with Drew and Helix. I'd been feeling confident all day but the warm up did not feel good, I didn't even attempt picking up the pace. I was hoping it was just he sitting around all day that was keeping me lethargic but that wasn't the case.
Race: 10:19. I knew right away that I didn't feel good and started easy, hoping I'd feel better later. That never happened. I slowed slightly but that could have been more due to indifference. Kicked the final 50m just out of instinct when I heard I guy catching me (and he did).
CD: 1 mile solo. I went straight out of the facility with Naomi to exercise Nessa quickly. I didn't see anyone leave for a cool-down as I figured they were watching the fast heat. I did leave for a cool down but found little interest and decided to focus on getting showered and to the party.
Takeaways:
Another bummer. Just 3 years ago I won this race (albeit in a slower year). Now I'm 4th to last running over a minute slower. Perhaps time to accept that this issue has become more mental since it first began.
