Middle Of The Packer:
I recently ran a 5k, the majority of details I'll leave out, other than to say due to lack of training time, I finished "only" a minute or so above the middle of the pack.
Although I knew what my time would be ahead of time, within a minute, I thought finishing near the middle would leave me very disappointed, but I was talked into the race by some running buddies anyhow.
But I was wrong. Instead of running near the front of the pack, the middle involves so much more jockeying around for position. It was a new experience for me, since even though I felt I was running the proper pace for my current fitness level, I felt like I could burst past anyone close to me whenever the situation arose, which was quite often.
The finish was particularly exhilarating, with me blasting past everyone in front of me as soon as the finish line came into view.
I don't think my mediocre finish has anything to do with age, or my past running injuries that still cause some pain, it's simply the lack of proper training. I look forward to the time when I can run, run, run.
In the meantime, this race was fun, I'd like to thank my fellow white racialist comrades for talking me into this race, I think I'll do more of this, I did really enjoy it.
