Twist & Shout On The Charles River

I got back from a race a couple hours ago. This one went immensely better than last month’s race.  Last month it was incredibly hot, impossibly humid, plus like an idiot I had around 4 hours of sleep the night before.  Needless to say, worst finishing time ever.

Today’s race, same distance as last time, fared around 3 minutes and 9 seconds better.  Yeah, scary isn’t it?  That’s a big difference.  I’m not saying that I’m in better shape, I’m just saying last time sucked.  This wasn’t even my best time (just thought I’d throw that little tidbit in there to boost my ego).  Too effin’ crowded at these things.  Kid you not, elbow to elbow for the first 2 miles.  Sucked.

I swear, I’m not doing any more of these post-work weekday races, going to stick with the weekend morning ones.  Sure you can’t sleep in, but the run is actually fun and my times are much better.  Plus no crowds.
