Okay, here it is my second 5K of the season and guess what? My time was not as good as last time. :-( Not to make excuses but I had a real hard time breathing, I'm wondering if maybe I don't suffer from some sort of asthma or something. Sometimes I feel like I'm breathing through a cloth and I have to breath deep and cough to clear things out. Gross I know. Anyway another thing to put on my to do list, check out more info regarding asthma.
This race was run over the Midpoint Bridge, hence the madness. It was a night time race which was nice. I could see the moonlight reflecting in the water as I huffed over the bridge. At one point I had to walk for a minute and out of my mouth popped "Holy Shit". Getting over the crest of the bridge was glute burner for sure. Once I realized that I had actually expressed those words out loud I looked around to see if anyone heard my exclaim and a man about my age maybe bit younger shook his head and just said "I agree" we both gave a low effort chuckle and trudged on.
I ended up with a time of 37:18 giving me a pace of 12:01. That's 2 lousy seconds slower per mile than last time. If I wouldn't have take the time to stop and cuss I probably would have met my last time. See what happens??? That'll learn me. (said with a twang) LOL
