Good News: Had a fun race with anna,jeff,andrew,marc this am.
Bad News: The time was pathetically slow 18:02 for track 5000 and it wasnt really easy.
GN: it was horribly windy and rainy.
bn: my foot was sore after the race even though i wore training shoes.
gn: it wasnt that sore and its getting better and i actually iced it. i think im going to get out the old cooler so i can do ice bath finally.
bn: i ran 1802 lol
gn/bn: its impossible to discourage me now so get back to work- i had 4 days off in a row and it was basically a fast windy tempo run. mile splits were 246(we went out a little quick)/253(539)/256/257(1132)/254/255(1722)/40 for 1802. Jeff did 1756 so 34 for last 200 that is a good sign- not too tired and able to turn over slightly at the end of the race- more than me haha.
Really if you look at this as a race obv it sucks but if you look at it as a tempo run it is fine. Therefore I will choose to look at it as a tempo run haha. Hopefully Im still on for goucher in 2 weeks i dont know right now it might be best to be patient. Although if the wind was worth 30 seconds+ that is not too far off of 17:00 i guess which would be acceptable.
You are sounding like me analyzing race performance!!! I ran in this crap today, and it is AWFUL so give yourself a break! plus a track 5k is a little mindnumbing.
