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.
