Pull up routine - M

Event: QOC Prince William Forest
 

@ Original loop + Christine's loop

6 miles easy

I haven't been practicing at all during the month of Oct with travel and catapult building, so today would be it for any sort of practicing before the big meet in 2 weeks. I think I'm regretting signing up for my age, but I figure if I place last, then there is only one way to go in the future.

Nadim was kind enough to walk me through route choices before I started which was helpful, but difficult for me to execute in real life. I still don't feel like I know exactly where I am at every moment when I'm running around. I did get completely spun around a few times and had only a moment of that feeling, oh crap, how am I going to be able to get home?

I walked most of it, though I did run along the trails. The rain held off. I missed the last one, gah.

Green - Splits

@ Interfaith make your mark 5K per Cindy's request

Goal 8:25 pace.

I won my age group ($25 dollar gift certificate), but I could have done better. Argh. I can't dig deep anymore.

The lap times are weird - sorry, watch issues

mile 1 - 8:33 (had to tie shoe)
mile 2 - 8:30
mile 0.84 - 8:39 pace
mile 0.25 - 8:50 pace

Ack, really lost concentration on the uphill finish. When I kicked, the kick felt too strong, I didn't try hard enough in the last mile. Next time.
