Woke up ready for the run. Probably should of not played in the pool with the friends last night, and stayed up a little late but its okay. I did wake up with a little deadness in the legs and a little tired though. I didn't tell anyone that. It was really really dumb of me. Anyways got to the race, could not really get going. I was kind of tired the whole morning. I was still going to stick to my game plan and run a really hard first half and see what i could do from their and try to hold on. It was kind of a test run to see what i could do. Went out hard and ran about a 5:15 first mile, which is really fast and coach said about a 4:45 on Cedars course. This was way to fast and what you would of expected i died. People started passing me left and right and i was loosing my head, tightening up, my legs would not go anymore, and i just lost it. I was pretty disapointed, but was just mad that i could not hold on and just really disapointed that i died so bad and did not race a smart race. I will never do that again, i am just going to stick in the lead pack, and come from behind, so i don't have a race like this again. I learned alot and know if i wasn't so dumb i could of took top 3, cause i have never lost to the kid that took 3rd. I will bounce back next week and the rest of the season. It will be okay. I will take alot from this race. Oh yea i think the course was long because the times were really long. It was also a really flat and grass course. |
