- actually felt pretty good
- couldn't hear myself breathe, which was good & bad
- didn't go with 1OA, wanted too but, just had no idea how i'd run so, didn't battle.. :/
- should have kicked harder at the end.
- ran in a jersey .. wanted to stay cooler
- ran pretty decent -> haven't done any 5k-ish training for like 2 weeks.. just speed this week, and still dropped this at a lighter effort than usual. strength is key for me. makes everything easier. must continue to focus on bumping my 1RM up (1km/1mile), that's what makes me strong.
basically the same time/splits as last year, also the same overall placing. last year's race was November 18th tho.
funny, it's pretty much an identical performance.
hope my ear unclogs soon, driving me nuts. barely being able to hear myself breathe was kinda interesting though.



TODO: post comparison from last year (i remember it's so similar)

legs spazzing out as i walked home.. heh.
have to be careful with lunges obviously .. bringing them back because i'm resting more. the 1 thing that scares me when i do them is, sometimes i feel it in that left knee patella area that i injured last year. need that to not flare up.
