Chasing a Race
I ran the Foot Traffic Flat in 3'07". Its a solid time and a PR at 36 minutes faster than my previous marathon time.
More to the point, it is two minutes shy of my goal of 3'05" which is a Boston Qualifying time. I have a bunch of eligible excuses, which I consider liabilities more than they are assets. I could have made my target time--not painlessly, but easily. I came up short because I let off the throttle thinking I had a cushion that I didn't. Let's call it a failure of tactics and not necessarily strategy.
There is plenty of sunny side, which I appreciate but doesn't satisfy. I'm both upset and stubborn and, at least for now, I'm still set on doing what I said I was going to do, even if its bad for me.
The question is now do I have the resources to pull this together. There is a lot of uncertainty. Will I have time, energy, and terrain to support my training? Will the next race have a fast enough course and will fortune bless the weather?
I'm still processing what the experience means and the takeaway lesson. It's clear that, like much of my life now, the degree of control that I have is limited and the costs and exercising that control, more expensive. So now, this might actually be hard.
