Well, the first race is out of the way, Froze Toes bike race two and a half weeks ago. Now its time for my first running race of the year. St. Patty’s 5k is this Friday evening at 5:30pm in Kirksville.
Evening races aren’t my favorite, I have yet to figure out the nutrition for an evening race. Normally I’m getting quite hungry around 5:30, even if I eat something around 3 or 4. Well, I have another chance to try and figure this out…
I’ve done this race for the past three years, the first year was 2003 and I did it in 18:15. 2004 I was able to take a whole 2 seconds off, no big deal… But last year I was running good and put down a 17:33! Unfortunately, I don’t think my times will continue their downward trend… Additionally, this year is the first year it will be on a Friday evening, typically it has been Saturday morning. My prediction is I’ll come in at around 18:30…
