JWOC Sprint
Really amped for this one after a good run last year. My goal top 60.
My warm up was pretty solid, just keen to get going, waiting sucks.
Started with Isia Basset who went out pretty quickly for the first leg, she was pulling me to the first control, was meant to go in the small under pass but missed out, so wasnt stressed, just went to the next parking lot area. on the way to 2 got a good pace going. Nice to hear cheering so early on in the course also. bit of hesitation to number 4, then everything good up till 9, started feeling fatigued by then already which was pretty shitty, checked the aussie ahead of me come out of 11 and decided I would go the same route, think it was the wrong route looking at route choice. on the way to 13 was really tired so didnt see the gap in the crossable fence, so just went straight, ripped my fav pants on some spikage :'( The rest was solid just getting really tired and trying to push hard through to the finish,
actual dist : +- 4.25k, so actual speed about 3:42 which im pretty happy about.
ended up 74th, just 7 seconds off my goal of top 60 and 1:41 off the win.
need to take off 1:42 in the next year of my running speed.
