I lost to Lydia Olivere! She is the new Zach Dietz haha(or not haha- which is more haha)<-- mental probs.

So went up to the Penn Distance Festival again with Nandu and Darin(I know first pete and now repeat haha). Decided within last two days to prob run and signed up(seed time 5:18). Felt ok in warmup- i actually broke the 20 second barrier 3 times for 100s before the race lol. So started out fairly conservatively and stayed patient for the first 600 or so- and still ran 72/2:32. The good news is that I could remember the year before and I felt pretty awful at 800 in 230 and this year I felt pretty good at 232. Unfortunately these good feelings did not help me run faster lol. The third lap came through in approx 356ish(i think i saw 355 on clock). Then lots of people kicked past me in the last 100. The first was a kid that was approx 4'4. Then halfway down the straightaway Lydia and another small/young person blasted by like Secretariat at Belmont- and yes i know that simile is not entirely accurate thank you.    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfCMtaNiMDM Now im distracted. OK now pre is on so lets wrap this up. The time ended up being 520 which is a little slower than last year(so what) but i felt better during/after. So looking forward have to do some good 40 mpw in June and do one or two xc 5ks for howardd county and maybe hashawha. Go Lydia! heh maybe next year i can win the third matchup.
