NIRCA Nationals: Perfect Storm

Warm Up

Several Hours and Several States Later

Mother Nature slapped some sense into me today. Was pretty focused on executing specific times going into the race, but then that got all blown out the window as I struggled to run without leaning into the crosswind on my warm up. Was pretty clear that this wasn't the place to run fast, but was just a good reminder then to focus on racing and having fun. Fun race overall, was nice to have company for the first half of the race and just focus on maintaining a gap, then let my instincts take over at a certain point and make the moves that felt natural. Unfortunately the wind really killed my last 800 bc terrible headwind + knocked off my bib so I was mentally preoccupied with that, but was still able to crack a smile and throw up a peace sign at the finish line. Racing is fun, just gotta learn the ropes again.
