It sounds like you gained some very good mental fitness in this race: Next time you're pushing hard and nearing death, you can remind yourself about the way you finished this race much faster than you started it.<br />Congratulations on placing!Laylahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14289344501168317316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8576247921509925121.post-76914203259893762902013-03-05T19:31:04.520-08:002013-03-05T19:31:04.520-08:00Nice job!

Sounds like it went really well even if you didn't gas it full out during the early part of the race. Though I bet you passed tons of people the last 2 miles - I would be shocked if anyone passed you. It sounded like caution was the better part of valor by holding back since you had a slight injury, sounds like you played your cards right. Next time you are healthy you can warm up and race all out for that PR start to finish.

I think your theories are spot-on. The ...Congrats!! I think your theories are spot-on. The lack of warm-up can really make a difference in 5k/10k races, and the overly conservative initial strategy also makes sense (i.e., I've done the same thing... except at a much, much slower pace). I think it's why I like latching on to people and using them as pacers -- I stop thinking and staring at my Garmin and just focus on whether I can keep up. <br /><br />Also, I think it's amazing that you still decided to go, even though you weren't officially registered. I can see how that would've been a really tough decision. Nice job on sticking to your plan!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8576247921509925121.post-28650073087267348242013-03-03T22:42:13.287-08:002013-03-03T22:42:13.287-08:00Wow, you wonder-runner!
