All things considered was a alright week. Was sick most of ot which made exercising hard. Amd I basicallly slept through Christmas as planned.

Was a good week got decent amount done.

Reindeer races in Zelienople.

There was a 5k, 1 mile and half mile race.
5k: 19:44
1 mile: 6:13.46
.5 mile: 2:57.34

Did all three. Won the combined times and the half mile race. Finished 2nd in the mile and 5th in the 5k.

Very salty about how the mile went.

The 5k was first.
Course was mostly clear. Roads were as well Cranberry then it was a whiteout type condition on way to race. Was cold low 20s.

Plan going in was to shoot for the mile and half mile more so then the 5k. Dodnt think I had shot at the 5k so dodnt went to burn up and save it for the other two. Wore light grip trial shoes top 2 took off didnt chase. Moved ti 3rd for bit but got passed around 1.2 because I didnt care if I was 3rd. Then got passed around 2.3 as I pulled back more saving it.

The mile was next and one guy took off I let him go. I reeled him in like .4. Went around him about .6 because i would have had to slow my pace down. At .8 I took off, figuring there was only two tenths left. I was burning up but had nice couple second gap. Realized course was gonna be long to late, it was .1 long. Didnt plan for that when I pushed. As I tried recovering guy who won kicked and before I knew he did we turned into finishline area and he passed me literally 5 feet from finish. As I heard him coming it was to late to muster anything to beat him. I came to dead stop as he passed and stood there was a couple seconds before walking across the mats. I was so pissed and salty. I had it and played it right. Just didn't know it was a tenth long. Did switch into endorphine pro 4s for this and the next one.

The half mile i didnt piss around I took off. Wasnt taking any chances even with a very small field still pissy. It was quick straight .25 shot then a turn around. Almost slipped at turn that area was still snow covered. But I took the .5. The half mile ciuld have been faster but I had huge lead at turn so I slowed down.

So yea did all 3 and took top combined timed for all 3. So am little less pissed but still can't get over fact should have had the mile. The time that won is something I can easily get. So that added to it.

Overall I guess I can't complain cause I could have not won at all. Still though I expected better of myself.

My times were not that impressive at all from what im capable of. Which pisses me off while looking at them. Just one of them days.

Recap on how things went, some of the new things were a hit and some weren't.
