We ran a 5k warm up with a few strides. I was feeling pretty good warming up but I was nervous as it was longer than the 5k and it was going to be windy on the way back as the course was an out and back.
As the race started I went out with Riley and Bryant and that was a mistake. I should have went out a little slower and then tried to hold on for a little longer. 1st mile was 4:59 but it felt faster than that, I was right with the leaders. 2nd mile was 4:57 I was still close to the leaders but started to feel tired and legs feel a little heavy. By about mile 2 and half Jake caught me I tried to stay with him but I could not. Mile 3 was 5:05 hit the turnaround and boom the head wind was wicked strong and Jake was starting to gap me huge. I could not run hard, I felt as if I was giving it all I had but was not moving anywhere. I got a side crap about mile 4 and it lasted for half mile but honestly legs felt heavy AND I was not there mentally. Mile 4 went to an incredibly slow 5:49, around mile 4 and half is where Matt caught me and I stayed a little close to him for half mile then got dropped by him as well. Mile 5 was 5:46. Mile 6 was 5:32. I was not happy with this race at all. Mentally I struggled and legs were tired or something I am trying to figure it out. Unacceptable to me and I let the Ogden Crew down.
After the race I did 4 200's. I went 33, 31, 30, 32.
10 miles with warm up and race and a few 200's.
I immedialty after the 200's got in the car and went to my baby's beauty pangeant. Later in the day I did 6 miles on Mt. Road. For some reason I thought it's ok, runners have off days. About mile 5 on my run back I thought no its not ok, I am better than this. So I threw in a push and went 5:19 last mile. I have much to work on before Phoenix Maratho,n but I am determined to make my workouts count and show up as much as possible.
