I Hate Racing: First Race Of The Year:

All day yesterday I had butterflies in my stomach. Trying to balance meals properly for my first race of the year.

Around 5.89 miles long and even though I knew maybe I wasn’t on top form but thought maybe I would have beaten last years time ..but didn’t.

Around 23  seconds slower than  last years time when I was hoping to be a few minutes quicker.

This year thing’s have got to change if I want to improve on my running,lots of improvements to make and not just hoping I will just get better without trying.

Today’s Race Report:

Mile One: All uphill and as everyone keeps saying don’t go of to fast guess what? oh yes I did. 8.33 pace I felt tired at the top.

Mile Two: Great all down hill just went with the flow..  7.56 pace

Mile Three: Towards the end of this mile I got stitch,really bad oh no it must have been that large bag of chips+sausage I had for lunch or maybe that donut,teacake with butter jam or toast with butter and jam 2 hour before the race.7.44 pace

Mile Four: Really bad stitch and I though to myself  when will it go?

Will I finish my race?

8.26 pace

Mile Five: New lease of life now where did this come from?

Stitch went and I started to feel good again all the way to the end,8.10 pace

Last bit of the race: 5.8 Great but tired,very tired.8.20 pace.

Not a good run,slower than last year but I’m letting this one go.Moving on hopefully.

I learned a lot from last night’s race.
