Ithaca Turkey Trot

November 24, 2022 (Morning)

Exercise Type: Run

Comments:
Feeling sick still with a sore throat but I wanted to get out and run for sure. It was freezing out this morning, had to de-ice but it warmed up a lot by the time I was ready to run. Did a little warm up around IHS. We all congregated in the cafeteria this time. I was feeling ready to run not necessarily race though. It was classic chaos at the start. Didnt even hear the start everyone just kinda went. It was crowded until the top of Sunset then I spaced out and was in no man land for a bit. Coming down the hill, caught up to a kid who looked like a highschool runner and we hung together and paced the rest of the way. Ends up he ran for Trumansburg and was looking to cruise along. Good find because otherwise I would have for sure dropped off the pace. Course conditions were good even in the bird sanctuary but once we got there I fell off a little bit and finished up at my own pace. Way off predicted time of 43:00, which is what I did last time I ran several years ago so what ever. Its been a while but I think this was my 8th or 9th Turkey Trot. Had a decent showing of folks, especially Holowka who I have not seen in a long long time.

Essentials: Stretch

Barely stretched more concerned about getting bagels and apples. Went a few rounds. Seems like a lot of people left, didnt stick around for the results even. It was pretty packed and I knew I wasn't anywhere near winning today. Just a really nice day by the end felt comfortable in shorts. IHS has not changed at all, cafeteria and hallways look the exact same its spooky. Solid showing today after feeling blah last few days and not having great mileage efforts.
