Notes
Gotta start somewhere. What did you expect, dumbass? 5:34 first mile which was too fast for current fitness especially in hot weather, though shouldn't have been grotesquely so. Then just a big hot ugly meltdown. Actually not too bummed, the heat was probably worth 10-20 seconds given its early season, and I figured I was in about 18 flat shape. It is what it is.
I actually won a pretty nice new balance duffel bag for that pathetic output--2nd M40+ to Mark Gibson (by a full minute.)
Even when I suck I still love to race. I need to remind myself that because it's the only way this thing will happen.
