My win streak came to an end today at Sudeck. 7th in 21:05. Still got my t-shirt. Kind of disappointed in my race, I think I could have gone out more conservatively and come on stronger at the end, but hindsight's 20/20, and that wasn't my strategy.

Had I been running to score, I would have adopted a more conservative strategy. My plan from the start was to get out with the leaders, and I did, so I have to be happy with that. I felt good in the first 1.5, but the heat got to me. Yeah, I know everyone had to deal with it, but not everyone's weighing in at 170.

Overall I have three thoughts on today's race:
1. Overall, I was impressed by the team today, they definitely ran better than my expectations
2. I followed my race plan, it didn't work
3. Felt dead tired at the end, but I had a blast

Great Race in 3 weeks.
