Yuk!

Terrible race today.

After a 2 mile warmup I ran the 2.75 in 18:50 "something" getting beat by Schmidt, Joe and others. My 4.76 of two weeks ago predicted an 18:16 on this course and that day I wasn't running all out. Today things were never right. I was behind early and just like last year did not run well at all going up the final long uphill mile.

My plan was to take a dump week before Zippys and I will follow that plan. There is nothing else to do anyway. The truth is that I have not felt right for the last several weeks and it showed today. Between work stress, my head cold of last month and other things, I was simply not in the race.
