Run
Comments: Not a great run. Finished 1:30 off my goal time. Felt like I struggled right from the starting gun. I knew things were not going well when I dropped my MP3 player in the first mile and it broke - No music for the race. :( Legs were tight and I never got a good rhythm during the race. Breathing was also a little heavy. I didn't wear a HR monitor, but I would guess my HR was through the roof. My splits tell the story. I was struggling in the middle and almost considered quitting at the 5K mark. Even with all these issues, race was still a personal best. Reason is I haven't run this distance race since May and my times have improved significantly since that time. What would you do differently?: Allow my body more time to rest before race. I believe my training had a negative effect on this race. Post race
Warm down: Walking, catching my breath. What limited your ability to perform faster: Lack of training and rest specifically for this race. Event comments: 27th annual race. If I am around, I will make this race a Thanksgiving tradition. Last updated: 2004-11-25 12:00 AM
