Race planning!!
5k on Saturday. Last year got third overall. So weather should be decent I imagine: 69F & ~30% chance of rain apparently. 69F = good weather to go hard.
Day before:
- early morning very light run (~6 miles), fajitas early, early evening very light ~1 mile.
Last year's 5k:
- 2016 it was held in September
- 2017 held in November (rescheduled due to hurricane Irma)
- https://www.strava.com/activities/707020707
2016 splits:
- 6:03, 6:18, 6:37, 6:51 (0.1)
So needless to say, slow race overall. This year I don't expect anyone crazy to show up, because tomorrow is the Flanagan 10k which is a huge race, prize money + pros etc. You never know though..
This course is basically, 0.2 miles slow loop, 1.5 miles heading north, and 1.4 miles heading south. I think my strategy will be to go my hardest with the wind, so, whichever direction that's blowing, change my strategy to accommodate that a bit. Sounds funny but, it works out in my favor either way:
- moderate 0.2, hard initial 1.5, moderate finish 1.4
- moderate 0.2, moderate 1.5, hard finish 1.4
- i'd love to keep my moderate pace under 6:00 min/mi this race, so I need to look at my watch more, and i've never gotten three sub 5 splits, so that's a goal of mine eventually. Need to get closer to knocking that out.
If it's hard initial 1.5:
- going to try and maintain <= 5:25 for 1.5
- try and maintain 5:59 1.4
If it's hard finish 1.4:
- try and relax, maintaining 5:59 for 1.4
- going to try and maintain <= 5:40 for 1.5
If there's a side wind, who knows. lmfao. I'll still pick one of them.
If someone fast shows up, strategy is basically out the window.. I think it'll be similar to last year though, so that's why i'm coming up with two strategies, just in case it's me "dictating" the race.
Anyway, hoping it's the first option .. would rather try and gun it early, because it's better preparation for the next two 5k's on the 23rd and 25th, which are very fast.
peace!!
bbcode............ 
KYRIE. MASK OFF.
damn celtics won wtf!
home teams' been making some insane comebacks this year..... many 20+ point comebacks, lots of 17 point..... those are really hard to comeback from..... just tonight 5/10 games the teams losing by 15+ cameback and won..... some were like 20ish lol
-btw i am so sick of these 2 pt 1-9 4 turnover games by lonzo ball.... so unfair for those that are much better and ready but not even close the opportunity.....
ben is special.... i dont care what anyone says..... he's the total package.... he's more special than MJ..... the basketball world has never seen anything like him imo.....
I'm just such a grapefruit fiend.. and if my stomach is going to feel meh, i'm going to enjoy me some more grapefruit pre-race. It'll probably end up helping me. I usually do 1 grapefruit, which is probably some immediate energy for 1 mile, this time I did 3, maybe 3 miles? even if it's not true, it's great to lie to yourself.
Race time
Closest I got on that was 7th last year, 30+ the year before. Top 3 maybe? Only way it's a possibility is if i'm able to drop something solid tomorrow..
