Notes
Tinley Park Turkey Trot, first time doing this race and I gotta say I love the course. Has some nice small rolling hills but nothing too serious and all-in-all a fast course in good conditions. Weather was perfect out this morning, couldn't have asked for anything better! As for the race itself, I felt pretty much like trash from the start. Couldn't open up past a certain speed and once I hit my top speed at about 200 meters that was all I could do. Pretty happy with the effort since this is just 2 weeks after the marathon. Didn't wear a watch during the race since I just wanted to focus on a tough cadence, but next time I think I might just to have a bit more feedback. Overall, this was just a fun run but it served as a great workout. Didn't kick coming in but to be honest biased on how my legs felt I couldn't have really picked it up anyway even though I felt like I had the energy too. Hopefully I'll be able to feel a bit more recovered when the Naperville Turkey Trot comes around, but this is a great starting point! Kaytlin crushed it and finished uninjured so I was super stoked about that and my dad was within 20 seconds of his 5k PR, so all-in-all a good day!
