baby! Ran my first of the year and first OCR in far too long. Felt great throughout the race up and down the stadium bleachers. My mental game was the strongest that I can remember during a race in a very, very long time.
Top 25% of Age Group competitors. Meaning while there were a couple thousand people who ran the race, only a couple hundred were in contention for prizes within their age group. My stats were:
47 min flat 5k
100% obstacle completion (yes, even the spear throw)
Category rank: 70/278
Gender rank: 61/211
Age Group (35-39): 14/42
While of course, you always want to do better, I'm hella happy with this. I'm not sure I have time to run another OCR this year, but at least I have training for Regionals and Worlds to keep me physically active!
Let's go.
And yes , 6-7.
