3 this morning. After going from 21 miles just three weeks ago to 58 last week my legs felt super sore this morning at the beginning. However just like every morning after the 2 mile mark and the turn to home, they started feeling looser. Overall mileage will probably be less this week, because XC team has a meet thursday and I am traveling over the weekend. 5.1 ran a 5k time trial with the xc team today, which had me excited because I have not raced in a while and I considered this a race, since I had my pride to keep in tact. After a mile warmup I was already pouring in sweat with the temperature in 98degrees. THis fact changed the goal of mine from a good time, to a good practice of strategy in racing. I stayed behind the top two runners for the first mile to avoid going out too fast, (partly because I didnt know the course too). We dropped one at the 1.5 mark and ran side by side until the 3 mile mark, at this point i could see the finish, and we both set off and finished at the same time. The time was not great, (but that was part of the plan), but still faster than my last 5k time trial by myself i ended up in 19:25. The whole run I had a terrible feeling in my gut, so after the run I got the joy of seeing lunch again... One mile cooldown |
