Today was a great day to run.
The temperature was 40deg at 8am.
A light rain fell before the race.
I woke up this morning at 5am to meditate.
I meditate every day for an hour.
I have done so for now for 2 years.
Then I had a half a cup of coffee and a banana.
For the ride to Galesburg, IL, I drank 2 litre
bottles of Gatorade during the drive.
A half hour before race time I drank half of a
bottle of a supplement called EAS Catapult
mixed with about 16 oz of water. About
ten minutes prior the race I finished the
rest of the Catapult. I always race to the
best of my ability when I use Catapult.
Today I ran a 28:01 on a very hilly course.
Not too bad for so early in the race season.
I placed third in the 45-49 age group.
After finishing I consumed about 20 oz of Gatorade
mixed with EAS Race Recovery.
The stuff tastes pretty bad. Having used
the product in the past, I don't remember it
tasting so bad. Maybe its a new formula. I will
let you know how the stuff works for me.
The post race was nice. There were showers
provided at the College. A really cool way to
help us runners. Driving home with my wife,
she usually comments about how I smell.
I consumed two bananas and a Mountain Dew
while watching the awards ceremony.
Driving home took 45 minutes. Ate lunch a
little before noon. I try to always eat a good
meal within two hours after fininshing a race.
Tomorrow morning going to run 15 miles.
Interesting to see how my recovery was.
