morning - walk with twix to try and loosen up the achilles. 

Washington City Half     1:17:13

Warmed up a couple miles. It was kinda cold and stormy at the start, but with a favorable wind. During the race, the winds switched and it was really warm. Started off well, but after 3 miles I wimped out and fell into tempo mode. Definitely lost the mental battle today - bummed about that. The leader ran very well and was well up on me immediately, and I was way up on 3rd. So I had a hard time focusing. It was basically a solo tempo (which I’m not great at - I definitely race better than I tempo). So I didn’t get very good pushes on the easier sections of the course. Could have been a couple minutes quicker. So, more work to do. Cooled for 2 miles. (Peg blue34 173.25)

Nice job on 2nd place, though.
