Washington Heights Salsa, Blues, and Shamrock 5k

Raw Notes

Pre-race

  • Did this right after traveling to Romania
  • Saw some people jogging uptown as a warm-up lol
  • Easy ride up on the 1
  • Bag drop, it was very muddy
  • Stretched out calves on the curb

Race

  • The hills were rolling
  • Felt ok through the first mile
  • tough through Fort Tryon Park
  • Last mile hurt
  • Slowed down up the hills, and recovered on the downhills parts
  • Had a good sprint to the finish

Post-race

  • Had an apple

Reflections

  • Racing is really fun, I really like having spectators
  • Probably should have studied the course more
    • It's kinda hard to look at the elevation and figure out how it'll feel
  • Better warmup?
  • funny that I'm writing this after the half, but I know more about my body now
