View Member's Race Log View other race reports
Buffalo Gap, Texas

Sunny
Total Time = 1h 54m 53s
Overall Rank = 15/??
Age Group = 30-39
Age Group Rank = 3/??
Pre-race routine:

Ate part of a peanut butter sandwich before I left the house and drank some gatorade. Arrived at the site, picked up the goodies, went back to the card 'til about 10 ins prior to start. It was cold and windy. I'd estimate it was upper 30s to lower 40s and at points on the course there was at least a 20mph wind, but possibly as high as 25 or 30.
Event warmup:

Light stretching.

Comments:

Didn't expect, or get a PR on this course. The couse is NOT set up for that and it was cold and windy. Did I mention that already?
What would you do differently?:

Run some hills, but I knew that going into the race.
Post race
Warm down:

Light stretching hot cocoa.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Overall, I thougt I did fine. However, the lack of hill training didn't help and the cold and wind wasn't great.

Event comments:

This was a small, but very well run local race. If you're in Abilene the weekend this run is put on, I recommend it.

Nice job on breaking 2 hours! Wish I could think more about racing right now, but if it dose not include snow shoes or skis, racing right now is quite dormant up here
