Exercise Type: Run

Comments:
Could not asked for a better day outside. This is what I picture the Farm as in my mind and its cool to know its still there. Phil and I took our time getting up and getting there. That was fine it turned out to be a pretty chill day. A lot of alumni showed up. Almost too many I only had time to say hi to a bunch of people I haven't seen in years and I barely got to talk to most. I didnt warm up or any thing just ran the 5k. Went out too fast probably sub 7 then suffered around the outer loop. The alumni runs feel so different than racing and training here. I can still kinda remember it which is good but I know realize that was a time and it won't and shouldn't be replicated. I wish I did take a little more time to soak it all in while I was out there and fit in a few more miles but there was just too many people and too much going on. Still for what its worth it was worth it to drive all the way up here and get those 20 mins or so on the course considering all that its done for me. In general, the race was not great I could tell I have not been running much. I at least found people to run with but I fully accepted my preparation for this one. As for the alumni I was pretty far in the back.

Essentials: Stretch

Honestly I barely stretched afterwards too. Hung around in the sun which was nice. There was a little lunch for coach afterwards and she said some statements but in general people packed up pretty quickly and got onto other engagements. I was the last one to leave and still got on the road before 1pm. Which I shouldn't complain about since I tightened up a lot on the drive back. Only stopped once in Delaware. Reminded me of how after meets we would just hop back on the bus all dirty and sweaty and thats just the way it went. Overall, an interesting experience for how quick and succinct it felt, but I think that justifies how clearly worthwhile a trip it was.
