Hit the Trails!

RUN RACE 12.8 miles 1:55

Today's race was fantabulous. I started out fast (8-830's) then settled in to a 9-915 average. Unlike most races in which I back off the pace, thinking I need to reserve something, I went all out for it. I ran smart, but as fast as I thought I could maintain. Crossing the finish line strong felt like I gained some redemption. Garmin said 9:03 pace for both laps.

And, I ate PB for the race! Breakfast was canned pumkin, banana, some cashew butter. Race fuel was homemade energy gel. Recovery was banana, blueberries, milk, protein powder and SF. I ate part of a hotdog--ick. Meal at home was sweet potato, nuts, peanut butter, dates. Usually I would have eaten oatmeal, banana, homemade gels, pretzels, hot dog bun, homemade bread, fig bar. Yikes, what a difference, and I feel FINE. I feared a lag of energy, a low of glycogen, but never felt it. Granted, it's early, so the low could still hit. Regardless, I'm eating new foods and thinking about what I'm eating.

Numerics update! I skipped a week so a weird format here:
2 weeks ago/This week/Since I started counting Sept 14th

Resting HR still high 40's
Swim: 1000/1000/7712
Bike: 0/13.3/ 67.3
Run: 14.4/13.3/59.1
$$: 0/18/965 Race fee for today's race was 17.5, but I won a $10 GC, should I substract that?

Oh, I forgot to mention I placed third in my AG!
