5 mile race + long run

winter series 5 mile race.  28:04.  2nd place out of 75.  i just didn’t have it today.

felt it on the warmup (6 miles, 42:00) but by the time the race went off, i was feeling pretty good.  put the surge in at mile 3 going up the last hill to try and drop him and half way up he passed me.  i try to reel him in the last mile, but just kept losing ground.

5 mile cool-down (40:00).  feeling pretty tired the last 2 miles into the wind on the cool-down.  it’s good to get beat in these off-season races sometimes…it gets my motivation up for my training.  i shouldn’t have any trouble getting out the door this week for some good mileage.
