John Woodruff 5k Race Recap 10th overall 19:22

Did the John Woodruff 5k in Connellsville

Not my day. Started faster then wanted to. The hill was alot longer then expected it was all uphill till 1.2 I to the race. I missed shifted a gear on a turn so legs dodnt have the power or strength to battle up the hill. The youngins got me on it. Should never have happened. Once I was at the top in like 7thish place I didnt care anymore. It was to hot and humid to push alot to try and catch back up even though I had plenty of time and could still see them it was not worth the effort. The course was hard, die to a detour this year it was harder from what people told me. I took it easy on the track loop I'd say took twice as long as shluld have. Had no go in me today. Just didnt want to burn up. Also before the race I never got in the right mindset or groove. Since it was a mid week race I basically was in a non chalant mindset even before the race. Felt more like a trianing run then race being mid week and in evening. Didnt listen to music or get pumped up on way there. Felt good overall though. No health issues and heartrate was where it sold have been for this race. Just couple beats high on the uphill but that's due to heat and humidity. Mouth was dry from start of race and I believe I started sweating right away. Also didnt warm up properly. So i guess made alot of pre race mistakes. Was like 400 people there walking/running so huge crowd for a Wednesday night race.
