http://accuchip.racetecresults.com/Results.aspx?CId=16337&RId=245FAU (d1 ncaa) woman ends up winning it with 17:45, damn she's fast.
i had a ~200m lead on her apparently, according to the guy on the bike. he starts yelling at me to turn, i figure it out, and now im like 200m behind her.. lmao. wreckage. today could have been a little better lmao.
it's a 5k AND 5 miler.
5:37 pace avg at 3k.. bleh.
5.22 first mile.
5.11 pace for first 1km.
shut it down @ ~1.7 mi. lead was too much to get back, considering I have 3 more races this month - would have been brutal to *try* and get it back.
all good whatever.
3rd straight year winning* it. asterick fml.
edit: i admit, it was painful listening to the announcements....... lmao fu*k.

reposting some of this so i can have it in one post:
that 3000m is good (5:37 min/mi pace). I basically run 1.6x hard.. then kind of just said F it after the debacle. I kinda jogged it out :/ 6:2X-6:3X pace for alot of that second half.. was just annoyed and didn't feel like digging insanely deep to try and catch back up. As soon as I turned around, I was 200m+ back, maybe even closer to 300m. Catching up would have been very rough, and I have races the next 3 weekends.
so even with a ~1.4 mi "jog", still ended up with 18:07 estimated 5k according to endomondo.
bleh.
damn.. 12 minute test & 3k are solid.. and those were partly "broken".
1km, 1 mile, and 1.5 mi (whatever that was), was solid. I was ~8:22 or so on the clock which was apparently at the turn around point (which I didn't know/realize), so that would be 8:2X @ 1.55.
edit: imported all of my stuff in to smash run.. i like this feature they have, where I can highlight a block of running & find out the distance/pace:
5:17 through 0.9
5:27 through 1.3
5:30 through 1.4
5:32 through 1.5
last 1.7 miles basically shutting it down, evenly paced jog.
6:07 last 1.7 miles
got "screwed" in another race. oh well. sucks.
just being real, going from 1st OA to 2nd OA without getting passed, is such a shit feeling. third time it's happened to me, 2nd time at this race. it sinks in during the announcements heh. i guess if you're really competitve, stuff like this feels worse. i've got no problems losing straight up. my eye sight sucks when i race. if youre in the lead by "alot", you can feel pretty lost out there. it's an interesting feeling. ffs tho, races need someone at a turn around, especially when it's a multi distance race (5k/5 miler in this case)... would be nice if race orgs didn't drop the ball with this stuff, it's pretty simple to get right.
.
the winner ran 17.45, and i was probably ~30s ahead.... fml. without the wreckage, probably would have been a 5k PR for me.
.
whatever. rare rant over.
.
oh ya, i got "beat" by a girl (#fau #ncaa).. she fast af. #goowls. #owlpride. #fmlx2. #runlikeagirl.
the woman who ended up getting 1st OA: (light blue). That's the race I went to.. think she got 2nd. She's no joke..
?taken-by=madlenk_
anyway at the end, I just congratulated her.. didn't mention that to her or anything. she probably had no idea.
fuck my god damn life. LMFAO.
so painful. LMFAO.
that's some solid form tho.
The starting signal was fired at 7 o'clock. As usual, I just ran and looked like I was on it.
The first 2 km were great, I had someone in front of me where I could hold myself.
Unfortunately, he made the 5 mile lap and I was alone.
