I ran a 10k in CT today. Pre race convo with Brett: -If all goes well, I could maybe break 55, but I’ll probably be closer to 60. -If I’m not back by 65, start to worry. -If I’m not back by 70, something is wrong, come get me. Starting line thoughts: -I hope I don’t pee myself. -I wonder what the hills are like. -Was that the start gun? Race thoughts: -Whoa, these are some nice a** rich people houses out here. -Does this count as a big hill? Do they get bigger? How many more are there? -What mile am I even at? -3k? I’ve only gone 3k?!! -THAT was only halfway?!! F*ck. -What pace am I even running? This isn’t even tempo. -Hey, remember those 100 milers? GET UP THIS HILL. -Hey, remember Harlem Hill, Cat Hill, Mt. Beacon hill repeats? GET UP THIS HILL. -Stay calm. Stay relaxed. Calm. Relax. Calm. Relax. CALMRELAXCALMRELAXCALMRELAX -7k?! Math. MATH. How much is left? -Hello hill at 9k. I see you. I’ve carried 25 lbs on my back, up mountains. I SEE YOU HILL. Finish line thoughts: -That didn’t suck. (55:18) Post finish thoughts: -Where are the bagels? -I wonder if there are any races next weekend… -- source link
