Fri - rest, couldn't run in the morning
Sat- Race day. Didn't have adequate warm-up, I always forget how far east the start is. Got in a groove pretty quickly, great course, flat first, downhill second, uphill third. 6:42, 13:22, (6:40) (6:36). Still don't have great kick, haven't done the work. Passed people in miles 2 and 3 but was outkicked by one 32 year old at the end. I could see Brianna and Demetrio, couldn't catch them. I feel like a pretender until I do. Calves were extremely sore, and shoes were very hot on the bottom--socks too thick--used racing socks. Overall did improve since Liberty Park and the course is tougher. Played some softball at Ward picnic and hit some golf balls with Aaron.
Sun - morning shakeout and calisthenics at Bridgeside, can feel my calves being overextended |
