Chilly Cheeks
I encouraged Matt Lipsey to come because he's very fit and I knew he would be good competition. Ultimately I lost to him by 7 seconds. He started hard and opened a 40 second gap on me, but I saved my energy to drive hard for the final 2.5k and try to catch him. I closed fast, but not fast enough.
Still, I ran 5 minutes faster than last year, which matters more to me than winning this race. The course was about 500m shorter. But half the difference was because I had Matt out there also.
We compensate each other's racing styles. He starts hard and holds on and I start slower and push hard after 60 or 70%.
Really good workouts this weekend.
