Notes
Pretty crappy race today. Everything was fine through around 6k/4miles, but then the wheels fell off the train. First mile was about 5:04 and I was pretty far back in the race. 3k split was something like 9:2x, 5k was 16:10, and 4 miles was 21:00. That means my last 2.2 miles was 12:24, or around 11:24 last 2 miles. Ouch. Basically averaged 5:15 mile pace (as I was supposed to) for 4 miles and then averaged 5:45 for the last two. Same passed me around 5k and I ran with him as long as I could but he dropped me and I died hard. My legs just wouldn't move. It was just like the first two races of the year when it was really hot. In those, when I hit a wall I couldn't push through it. The last 4 races I've felt really good and been able to push through the wall. Today I couldn't. After the race my legs felt like garbage and I realized I gave it 100% and couldn't do anything about it. The thought going through my head the last 3k was "just finish this race". Oh well, it was a good season. Track time now. Got some big things to get done between now and May.
