| Spectator race. Felt crappy and ran crappier.
We were up 'early' to meet the JWOC team before they headed to the sprint as a couple of them needed their mesh tops that I was carrying. Then went to watch the sprint race. The spectator race started at 5pm and was a 'free' start every 30s. I thought I would try to get an early start but by the time I got to the start there were 30 guys in line. Ended up standing in line for 20 min before the start. Great warm-up. I'm now completely against these types of starts, especially for a sprint race.
I wasn't prepared for how technical the race would be and was distracted a bit. Ended up making a few silly mistakes that probably cost a minute. I guess this is why I don't like to run sprint that much. Even with the minute back, I would have been 1:40 out of a gold medal... |
