I really didn't want to race this weekend but seeing as it was out here on the Island and I was race co-ordinator last year I felt compelled to participate. Schedule was for a long day so I went out early and did 7. Then I went home and showered and headed out for the race. I didn't know what to expect so I was very happy with the results. Last year I was struggling to get under 20 minutes so this performance was exciting. I worked the 2nd mile and it ended up being my fastest of the three so this strategy seems to be working so far this season. I moved up on the second place runner with a half to go but I had no kick left and he easily out distanced me over the final stretch. I did manage to hold on to third as another 40+ runner was bearing down on me. Luckily he started his kick a little late.
