December 6, 2014 (Morning)
Exercise Type: Run
Comments:
No race report, just a shitty day. Details (8 months removed):
- used olive oil all over arms, neck chest and back
- had terrible asthma and itchiness
= I'm allergic to olive oil
- ran about 10min pace and my HR was 160-170
- figured out that if I quit, I'd DNF FOUR races in 2014 and finish only two, so I decided to stick it out
- asked BGD at mile 18 to go get an allegra, which I forgot to take
- got an allegra around mile 30 or so
- felt WAY better by mile 35
- slowly grinded and tried to get my stride together
- VERY WET all day: teeny streams were raging and the mud around Cardiac was epic, especially on the inbound
- Caught and passed Jeremy Tolman around Muir Beach
- Caught and ran with Brian Tinder(!) just leaving Tenn Valley, and we ran together 'til about a mile out, when I pushed hard to the finish
Ran like 7:40, good for 47th place? Fuck's sake.
- retrospectively: I blamed allergies (which was definitely a factor), but my stride totally sucked, too.
PM: hung out a bit with the Curley's and Sam, then had a fun night at The Deuce for the "afterparty"!
