Last week was 48 miles btw. Friday i did a steady run of 3 miles in 19:15- out and back on mcd course(9:35 and 9:40) I felt like crap beforehand(no nap) and then it went ok. 5.5 miles that day i had to hurry to get to prac. Then yest was 6 miles with merritt,darin,nandu,oscar,ethan,keenan at SDelight. Its a little too rpcky for them on a group run.
Back to the race- got there and did 2 mile warmup. My stomach felt funny beforehand im not sure why. But not bad and i didtn feel it at all during the race. Got out ok moved up into 4th by about 4-600m. Stayed in 4th through the mile(where comically a Loyola college woemsn team had put their stuff all over the course they were moving it as we went by). Finally the guy that was behind me(a curley guy) passed me at 1.5 miles. He pulled ahead a bit not too far- then right after the steep hill another older guy blasted by and pulled away immediately heh. I was keeping an eye on the curley kid he was only about 20-30m in front going into the field the last time. I closed slightly but then he got back away on the downhill and i wasnt quite close enough in the last 400. The first time i saw any time was in the last 50m obv and it was depressingly slow hmph. Overall ended up right around 18:00 maybe under maybe not(im thinking not because it was 1755 the last time i saw and the standard 20m to the finish after that prob)
I felt fairly good in the race not like dead tired. My legs just dont go fast right now- breathing was fairly comfortable. So another good effort- I think it would be nice to get some kind of splits in the races. I will the next two races.
So next races: dec 2 mancave 5k(road),dec 16 PG 3200, jan 1 leesburg 10k
Also I think as of now i have to forget about the UMD invit in indoor- still 2 months to go so we'll see but i mean 5:50 pace or whatever- yikes lol. Better than in August though that was what 6:10 or something.
