It's great to finally start racing!!
I was kind of disappointed with my time, but after thinking about it, I didn't do all that great because it is a hard course and the first race of the season. I didn't do too good about eating and sleeping well before the race, so that is something I will do better with future races.
I don't know if "Take it Easy" by The Eagles is the best song to have running through your head during a race.
My first mile was pretty good. I started off pretty good before remembering that this isn't a 1600 and that I needed to slow down. I started off quite a bit behind Nathan and slowly worked my way forward.
My second mile was really good. I was passing plenty of people. I eventually passed Nathan. I liked the downhill apart from my sidecramp which was made worse by going downhill.
I think the third mile probably started sometime during the downhill. My third mile was OK. I had a pretty bad cramp so I wasn't running my best. I didn't like how long it took from the bottom of the big hill to get to the finish. I thought it wasn't too much further but it was a lot further.
That's all,
