Hay Creek Classic, DVOA Meet Day 2
Ouch, this did not go so well! 2 big mistakes, a handful of smaller ones and I just wasn't running as fast. Argh! So why the huge difference from yesterday?
Ideas:
1) Tired legs, especially tired little ankle muscles. Noted my legs were tired warming up and the ankle muscles the next day.
2) Lack of patience in route decisions. So I'm not sure I had this yesterday, but today I remember I wanted to be fast and so I wanted to make decisions fast so I would just see something and go.
3) Not using trails enough. When I came back out of the woods, everyone reported how easy and trail-y the course had been. What? I hadn't been on trails all that often, I felt... so maybeI was just using my middle distance technique of go straight too often.
4) Got distracted by another runner to #10, should have stuck with my plan!
