Sudeck Classic 2012

September 1, 2012 (Morning)

Exercise Type: Run

Weather: Warm and humid

Comments:
Decent race. Not my best but not terrible. Out pretty decently, 5:41 through the mile. A little behind target pace for group 3 but not a bad thing and pretty accurate compared with the other groups. Second mile was bad. I was breathing harder than I should have been coming into the hill and although I didn't let anyone catch me up the hill, I should have gone with Chippy when he passed me at the start of the back loop. After we made the turn to parallel SOM (the short stretch on the back) I started picking off guys from Allegheny. Doing that brought me up with Gilad and Paul. The dip before going by the pond destroyed me so that was bad but I closed the last k in 3:28 which isn't bad. Faster through 5k than intersquad and sub-6:00 pace on probably the hardest course of the year.

QT#1: I was weak in some places I shouldn't have been during this.

QT#2: I ran a minute and a half faster than last year and I'm still at peak mileage. As the season goes and mileage drops, I'll feel fresher and have a lot more left.

QT#3: The team is really together. At 22:16 I was more or less the back of the pack which means there's a lot of depth up ahead. Good for the team but I need to really improve if I want to race later in the season.

Longer cooldown with Drew and Corey, found another part of the farm. More exploration to come maybe during the Pink Pig.
