Morning Run

Twilight Of The Thunder God

Dannng just can’t seem to pull off a win or break 15 in a 5K this year..
In all seriousness this was pretty good given who finished in first. Finishing ahead of an extremely in form Issame was always going to be a challenge. Chris Andersen took things out pretty quick from the gun but eventually Issame slowly moved to the front following the little downhill and started to dictate the pace. Positioned myself right near the front in a select group of 4 (three of them Moroccans, 1 of them American, myself lol). We were together for the first mile but boy was I already beginning to feel the pace. Which meant that Issame would slowly pulled away shortly after. Settled in with the other two guys up until the half way point where I found enough in me to pull ahead of the other two Moroccans and run the remainder of the race alone in second. Had a difficult time holding myself together and definitely need to work on relaxing the breathing towards the end of a race but I felt content enough that I got the job done. Well until I made the turn to the finish and saw the clock in the upper 14’s. Sprinted it in but just could not get under. Was happy with the place but disappointed to blow another sub 15 lol.

So that's a wrap to racing for the calendar year. It has been a good comeback all around. But falling short of winning races like today and Thanksgiving along with not breaking 15 for 5k or 31 in the 10k has left me fueled to keep getting after it this winter and spring. No better place to correct this than chasing the clock on the track.

Also lead biker was playing the slowest possible songs on speaker during the race, Can’t You Hear Me Knocking by The Rolling Stones and Fire on the Mountain by the Grateful Dead. Good song choices for a long run not a 5K race.
