I was feeling pretty great about my time for Saturday's run. I was feeling even better when I came in 8th for women. A top 10 finish isn't too shabby. But, some of the excitement was depleted when I still placed 6th in my age group. Only 2 of the women to finish before me were in another division.
The last two years I've raced in the 30-34 or 30-39 division. I swear it is the most competitive. In many other divisions I could have placed top 3, but in mine I'm double digits.
I could take the time to analyze why that is, but instead I'll work on fartleks and hill training. I only have 3-8 more years until I'm in an easier division. That may be the highlight of my 40th birthday.
I'd like to welcome Katie to the major leagues. Push 'til you vomit. Even then we're not guaranteed a medal.
