Beef and Eggs 5k
Certified? Yes

3.10 miles
00:15:59
(5:09 min/mile)

Height: 189


Since I last posted, I took 8 days off, and worked in Europe for two weeks, not ideal training for this race. Beef and Eggs was started by two former SDSU runners (Bierke and Edgberg, hence the nickname) as a class project. 12 years later it serves as the Dakotas association 5k championships and a midsummer checkpoint for current SDSU runners.

Each of the past 5 years I've wanted to peak/train for this race, but have never been able. Since I won't have an opportunity to run it again, I thought I'd give it a go.

The race went out predictably hard, and I tucked in the second pack. The first group of 4when through a mile in 440ish, with the second group right at 500. They slowed dramatically, as the second mile is completely uphill. That move broke the group and I ran in 5th for the remainder of the race.

I can easily say I gave it 99.9% as that's the worst I've felt crossing the finish line in a long time. Mile splits were 501,520, 458.
  • moxie moxie Solid race on the training you described. I'm hoping to get back to some decent racing next year. Still not 100 percent, but working on it. I can run easy without much issue but I do still get sore when working harder.

Official time was 5:20.4. Clock said 5:17 as I crossed...I was hoping for that. 50+ heat ran first and I went to the front and led the entire way. Could hear/feel Jeff Hansen on my back for most of it. A guy read 2:37 at 1/2 so came back in 2:43. Had something at the finish for a change. Liked the changed course...eliminating the 180* turn...but still has several turns in it. Won $20 LRC certificate.

Hot out today. It was 99 earlier. Golfed 9 holes this morning. Finally decided to ride the dam. Screwed up on the first climb less than a mile and a half from my house and let my momentum go. It was so steep that I couldn't start riding again and had to walk a quarter mile uphill. A bit embarrassing. Didn't make the same mistake again on the other two major hills. Pay off was a 50 mph descent that could have been faster if I wasn't so nervous. Screwed up and forgot to restart my watch a couple of times. Strava bridged the gaps somewhat. Lots of tubers out on the Poudre River.

Felt pretty decent to begin. Just got hotter as I ran. Stuck my head in a couple sprinklers as I went by. Turned mine on at home to cool down too.
  • moxie moxie My strategy was to take off my clothes and sprawl out on the basement floor with box fans blowing from top and bottom. Works pretty well.

Wanted to see how I would do in a 10k race this year since I haven't done many fast runs. thought I went out too fast but that's normal. Was able to settle into my pace and felt ok. Let up a little not knowing the finish line was so close so may have lost a few seconds but still a really good run for me. Great to get to warm up and cool down with Gary Wasserman and Ron Lampe.

Ran from Field to South Omaha extension and did some reconnoitering of the remaining portion to be finished. Looking very close. Took that out a ways and turned back on Keystone through Elmwood. Nice route. Even had a bathroom available at 8 miles near Aksarben.

Happy Sunday, all.
  • moxie moxie In other news, I always forget that my house is at a high point, so almost the entirety of the first half was net downhill making the second half somewhat rough. I didn't feel like I was working hard, but I was a bit mentally fatigues on the way back.
