Sunday started at FIVE AM
that sucked
I was with most of my family, so the first order of business was to wake them all. we ended up getting to the skating rink at 6AM to get registered and all. we did races until noon.
I made third in one race (indoor).
Outdoor (2 PM) we had a few races, first was 400 meters. I made a stupid mistake, got stuck on the outside and finished in fifth out of like twenty =/
then we did a 10k... all of my reasons for exhuastion+ stomach aches from that food caught up to me, I gave up-took the easy way out Should have kept pushing, but I didn't. The leading pack finished about 1.3k ahead of me... lol And I tripped a good friend, he ended up falling. That sucked :'(
not sure if it was my fault, but he still fell either way. So it's sad...
Monday
Had an outdoor practice in ocala, it was good. We did a few different things, then a 10k. I learned a bit about skating with someone (drafting and such). I pushed myself quite a bit harder in this practice than I did at the real race lol.
Tuesday
Today I didn't do much, just a few miles on the roads by my house. The roads suck around here. There is one semi-nonbumpy part by the main entrance of the niehboorhood. I skated back and forth on there for a while working on form.
It was fun seeing the expression of an old guy on a motorcycle when he saw me hammering up a hill though :D
