Sun 2/14 - 35 minutes incl. track DNF

The unexpected bonus race turned out not to be such a bonus. Hoping to have a couple (literally 2) guys to run with but they didn't show which left me all alone at the back of the train. Unhitched by the end of the second lap and it snowballed from there. Very lonely place to be, particularly in front of a paying audience. When I found myself thinking about dropping after passing halfway I realized the plug had to be pulled. No trackside clock or even anyone reading out splits, which left me flying blind. In a tightly packed bunch that wouldn't have been so much a problem, just stay tucked in, but being spalled off the back I felt like I was going slower and slower. In fact, after looking at video of the race I ran each lap within a few tenths of 35 seconds. In fact had I hung in there I might have run a SB, light years behind everyone else of course. No desire for the pity clap however. Not wrung out in the least just incapable of maintaining anything resembling contact. At least I got to watch the rest of the meet, although it was a fairly dull affair. Warmup outside was longer than expected and led to a very compressed set of drills and strides ahead of the race itself. Cooldown was five minutes tops jogging around the gym. Looks like I "peaked" for the indoor season two weeks ago, if I ever did. Coldest day yet in the recent cold snap.
