heath camp & time trial

heath camp

1st day - went out w/ group 2...got dropped in first 8 minutes, caught by group 3, finished w/ group 3

2nd day - ran w/ group 3 for 27 minutes, ran back w/ group 2, 3 minutes behind pace, 54 total

3rd day - ran w/ group 3, got dropped

4th day - easy day, got dropped by jc

5th day - long run, 12 miles, went out too fast so i decided to stay behind, fell way off, more than 10 minutes off pace

6th day - went out 20 minutes, came back in 17

so i pretty much got owned. hills weren't as bad as i thought but there were two killer ones in the end.

time trial: 12:58
not that good of a day. i wanted to go like 12:20ish. didn't happen. i went out w/ arthur & miracle & pounded to front woods. i died after the freshman hill & got passed by arthur & miracle in the backwoods. i made up ground in the kill zone & finished 12:58 to miracle's 12:55 & arthur's 12:52.

some results that i remember

george - dnf, lost shoe, was w/ lampell probably would've went 10:4x
robby - 11:5x
oliver - 11:42
aaron - 11:58
stefan - 12:13
sean - 12:06
bert - 12:20
dave sun - 12:3x
sam liu - 12:31
jc - 13:06
karl - 13:03
kerl: 12:3x-4x?
kyle: 12:3x-4x?
miracle: 12:55
arthur: 12:52
lampell: 10:42
jayram: 10:52

bad news: i lost to basically everyone in my group + arthur & miracle whom i've been ahead of this whole summer & i didn't reach my goal

good news: i broke 13, pb'd, and beat karl & jc, whom both owned me in heath camp

i didn't really expect to run that fast because i haven't been doing any speed work at all, only base. i really don't know what direction i should head in now. my base is not as strong as i thought it was after going through heath camp & my speed is nowhere near race level right now. i need to focus & keep working.
