Congratulations!! Way to snag 1st in AG. I don’t think I have ever tapered for a 5k..interesting, makes sense.

Congratulations on a GREAT race. Don’t beat yourself up for not hitting your goal. You ran a 5K under 20 minutes… not too many people can say that!! I am always very impressed with how fast you are. You seem to be getting faster all the time.

You know, my coaching book actually states that there should be a taper period before every race. A 5K should have a 3 day taper. Maybe you worked out a little too hard so close to the race and that is why you didn’t hit your pace the way you wanted to. Experiment with a 3 day taper, taking it really easy a few days before a 5K.

Either way… you had a great race. Congrats again on the fantastic finish.

I already congratulated you on DailyMile, but I will again here because it’s an extra special “win” for you. Hooray!!

congrats! always exciting to win an ag award i have been passed by 10 year olds at the finish so don’t feel too bad about the kid! 13th overall and a sub-20 are great! i am wishing and hoping to one day break 20, though first i need to break 21.
