Ya know, as I analyzed my race afterwards, this was my exact thought. The pace was slow, I still felt strong, and I was far enough back in the pack that I would have had a big head of steam by the time I passed the leaders. I could have had a huge g…
I was in wave 1 and a summer of hard training left me well prepared to try and finish high in the open wave. A little lolly-gagging in the staging area got me to the start line a little late and I was half way back in the pack when we started. I duc…
