Had a good first 10 then kind of died but good for my first race, detail later
A race is always open for good learning experiences, I learned I am not on top of my mental game. Or wait I already kind of knew that:) I knew going in this race that I am not were I was last year at this time and mentally I am drained from my past few weeks of Jade being in the hospital. So all in all this was a good effort with a crash and burn finish, but a reminder that I need to get on top of my mental game and finish stroger in the next race. I felt good the first part but struggled out of the canyon and just got comlacent with not doing as well as last year. Probably started to fast but I felt good and was not paying attention to my splits just running off feel, but I kind of knew it was to fast because Rebecca was behind me the first 5 miles or so and seceretly I was hoping that some magic would happen and I would be able to finish as strong as I did last year. Struggled with icky stomach so I didn't take any fuel in which is not good for me. Did a 2 mile warmup with my ladies and a 2 mile cool down with Angie and Janae and we ran the last half mile in with Ericka.
splits-6:09, 6:17, 6:27, music died 6:21, 6:22, 6:17, 6:27, out of the canyon 6:45, 6:45, 6:49, 7:00 ugg the hill was my doing in, 6:55, 6:50, 6:29 pace for the last .13
so not a great race but not to bad for my 1st half of the season
