I hit my sub 18!!!! As previously discussed I had the MVRA Heritage Trail Run this past weekend and I was gunning for a PR of sub 18. I followed through with one hell of a race, I was very proud of myself as I pretty much perfectly executed my plan and nailed my splits pretty much to the second on pacing! Normally I have many regrets after a race, most are about my 2nd mile where in the past I've slowed down about 10 seconds. Saturday I pushed through and managed to hit a 5:40 even with the turnaround point and I was very happy about that!
As the title suggests I also won my first trophy!... well first one as an adult anyway. I was pretty excited going into the race Saturday that I would get to run behind some faster runners, I've won the last three 5K races I've run in and funny as it may sound, I was looking forward to trailing some quick guys and pushing myself to try and catch them. Well for whatever reason those guys did not show up for the run and I was able to get out in front and pretty much carry the lead the entire race… I’ll be honest I probably would not have been that happy winning the race if I didn’t hit my goal time but being I ran a 17:52 without having someone pushing me was very exciting. So I got my trophy and an interview for the paper in which I sounded a little air headed… but hey, I’ve been in the paper for worse so I’ll take it! J
