Objective : 8- 10 mile warmup @ 6 minute pace followed by 8 miles @ Goal MP
Recovery : 8 minutes to switch from trainers to racers and get some fuel.
Result :
8 mile warmup : 47:54
Race : 5:03 / 5:20 / 5:15 / 5:23 / 5:23 / 5:33 / 5:31 / 5:20
Overview : I was a bit nervous about this task. My mileage is getting up there, for me, and I am starting to feel the effects. All part of the process. I wanted to do the full ten miles but was running late and didn't have time to get it in before the gun went off. I think the timeline gave me the extra pressure to get it done. Wilson Perez put on a class "AAA" event (unlike our countries credit rating). The venue was perfect and the event went smoothly. I think he should consider a bid for a grand prix next year. The course is comparable to Stowe (in my opinion harder) and it is a good destination. The last part of the race is wicked challenging and it would be interesting to see how it played out. I don't think anyone in New England would be disappointed. Anyway, I think I accomplished my task and had a really good time catching up with some of my mates (Pete, Pipp, Chirp, Heidi, and Wilson) I also made a new friend Nate. Back to chasing miles.
