Good conditions though there was a bit of a headwind for the first half until you make the left turn up the one block incline (I won't even call it a hill). Started toward the back of the pack as the timing mat area is not wide and time didn't start until I crossed the mat. Stayed to the outside near the centerline of the street to avoid the traffic. I looked down and saw 74 at the 1/4 and was still doing some traffic dodging. 2:33 at half way so I knew Gar's record was still possible but was working hard. Plan was to get it going over the last 600 and I had counted the blocks to the finish so I knew how far out I was but none of that really mattered as I was gassed and just trying to hang on. Turns out I beat second in the 55-59 by 0.5 seconds...that usually happens to me. So, second half was in 2:44 so 2:33/2:44 wasn't a terrible death. Ran the same time as last year so maybe there's another shot at it next year. Age graded 4:26.7. $100 Scheels gift card for 1st in the 55-59. 5:17.71 missed course record by 1.5s.

Made the roadie with Gar to Des Moines in about 2:15 arriving around 5:30. Jogged over the course and continued to warm up including some hard 150m pickups to loosen up. Really enjoy coming to this event. They do a great job putting it on.

Quad felt much better today. There's still a little bit of a knot buts it's getting better. HR is a little high for the pace but I couldn't seem to get into a slower pace. It doesn't help that I'm back to counting calories. Didn't like what I saw on the scale after getting back from Boston. At least we enjoyed ourselves last week.

Hit the pool to rest the body. Tired, and soon figured it was a weird idea of resting. :/. Slept wrong and my neck is kinky on the right side. It's alright, it only hurt for 50% of my headturns. Shoulder felt OK though. A bit sore all over from some Jillian work recently.

500 swim 500 kick 500 pull 500 swim. Repeat.

Happiest of BDays to one of the nice ones. Enjoy your day, Mollak. :)

Have an awesome Tuesday.

Happy birthday, Justin! Hard to find a better runner who is more humble than this guy!

I still have some kind of a cold or bug since returning from Boston--in my throat mainly. Could have used some extra sleep, but I needed the run more.
