Evening Run

Afternoon Run

I passed the mile 1 marker at 4.58 lmfao, but it was short (or my watch was wrong, i'll go with it being short). I was like holy shit. i didnt know it was short, wasnt looking at my watch during the race. figured id finally transformed into a Kenyan... lol. not yet. :D

Saw someone I knew who was pretty fast, but I had beaten fairly easy a year ago. He went out really fast, so I was wondering if he was going out way too hard, or if he was in better shape. After 400m or so, I correctly analyzed that he was in better shape! haha. He ran a really good race. He pushed it hard. I separated a little by mile 2, and then started to push it harder by 2.5, which got me some space. He finished with 17:55. It was fun, he's a really great dude.

As for the confusion: there was a huge bus blocking our view up ahead for the rest of the course, and a car erroneously coming down our way with cops trying to stop it etc, and our "pacer/leader" on the bike disappeared. So we were like wtf? discussing if either knew if we had to keep going or turn etc. seems like this kind of stuff happens alot hehe. Stuff like that does suck though, definitely ruins your rhythm. Need to get better at handling stuff like that, without breaking my stride. Seems almost impossible though. Confusion makes you slow.

On to mile race prep!

I have a big mile race on April 26!!! Going to try and be as fresh/fast as possible for it. It's 4 hours away sooooo... Can't go out there wasting my time. Need to bring it.

FICPA 5K: 1st OA in a nice battle! 17:35 official! (NO WATCH). No estimated time: 3.06 course instead of 3.1 (perhaps). We got confused approaching mile 2, slowed down. eeh.
