Goal Race A - Completed!
Maybe at some point someone will read this but in the mean time this is here for me to come back to. Yesterday I did my A goal race. It was a new personal best on that course which I'm so thankful for. But I have a few things to say that I'll hopefully remember the next time that I run this course! What I'm going to say here is going to come across as negative, I believe, but I mean it more as a way to learn and move forward. Going into the race I wasn't sure if I had trained enough. I had been training but for some reason it just didn't feel like enough. Despite this feeling we still bettered our personal best by a couple of minutes. And that's what we need to focus on. Not the other metrics that told us we would have a better time. Better to think of, on trail races, that it's a time trail against the clock and not where you are going to place among other people. That's probably my best take away. The 10 days leading into this race was spent
