Glad I signed up for this it was so easy. Got up with enough time to eat breakfast and do a solid warm up. It wasnt a huge race but a solid showing for a little run around Oakley. I honestly didnt know the course and decided just to do it and run to see what happened. Didnt start in the front or the back. Actually got stranded part of the way through. I felt pretty fine until there was maybe 5 minutes left as we were coming back down Madison from Roberston. New shoes felt good but legs felt the stress. It was also kinda humid and rainy from yesterday and I was drenched. Put a good push on at the end coming back into the parking lot and finished with a sprint but overall, could have raced a lot faster. HR was actually around tempo effort so ill take that. There were no mile markers so I had no idea what my pace was but I thought I could handle 7:00 again and I was just about on the dot. Did a cool down around the course again getting some solid mileage in today, then finished up trying to get some rehydration and food.

Essentials: Stretch

Did a little stretch off by myself on some grass before trying to get some pizza. The pizza line took as long as the race did. Legs feel it for sure that was tough with the mileage I have been doing. But the effort level is encouraging.
