One of the best week of my training..had a outstanding run with Karl in Austin that was unmatched to any training run I've had thus far and I think that lead to my fastest competitve time yet...I beat my best time by 2 seconds...was only past by 3 people during the race and took home the silver...not sure of total competitors yet but about 100 is my guess..was probaby more pumped by 17th overall than the silver; epsecilly near the end where I held off 4 challengers in the sprint...which one of them game me some props at the finish...now the bitter details...
8 a.m.....29 degrees, 20 mph wind, and snow flurries...can I really be disaapointed running my fastest time in these conditions? I think not...challenging...on the way out the wind was at my back, but a Kimbo Slice punch in the face when I rounded the cone and headed home...and yes, the thought of why in the heck am I doing this crossed my mid for a moment. Had a tough recovery day after the race...just didn't feel real good, but slept an extra hour before Sunday School and Church this morning which lead to a better day. This was my lst race for the year unless something comes up...gonna stick to training for a few months now...thanks to Karl for hanging with me this week...I really think our run put me in the mindset to be faster...
