This is it folks... my FIRST CRASH-B

Post by mmayzak » February 4th, 2015, 10:07 am

I am all trained up... and after today, as ready as I am going to be.

I pulled a 7:42:00 last night, and hope to see 7:30's this Saturday AM (I am racing in Dallas).

I have come to realize this:

"average is easy, GOOD is uncomfortable, EXCELLENT IS HARD."

I feel Saturday AM is going to be HARD... I have a old college coach friend lined up as my 'coach' and hope to do well.

I am nervous, anxious and ready.

Thanks for all your support on my journey since June 2014 to be at this place... you've made me better, made me competitive at my age/weight (46/hwt), I won't WIN, but ultimately I have come to appreciate I am racing MYSELF, not the other entries... if I beat my PR, and finish in the 7:30's i'll have done well.

Exciting times... FOR SPARTA!

Mike in Yukon, OK.

Pulled a 7:40.4 in my last practice before recovering...

I am ready. 7:30's are mine!

7.33.2 my record best... 6th place. The winner went 6.34, what a beast.

I don't know it the winner was, I can tell you he was big and FAST.

I need to figure out how to race 'taller' if such a thing can be.

I'll be racing again here in Oklahoma City next week at the Cox Center... hoping to be as fast (if not a touch faster).

Woo Hoo... I had a better start today and went 7:29.5 in OKC... it was awesome!

Good enough for 2nd place in Oklahoma City!
