Sometimes it's better to run for the glory.
bonjour toute Moun. Sa ka fete?
well i'm sitting in my room at the Abecromby Inn in Port of spain T&T, going over what i could have done to run 2:18 @ the Clico Marathon. there really wasn't much i could have done. why? well i took off from the start hitting the correct splits but the other runner where just content to stay back and take it easy. the difference between runners running for time and running for the money. 10 lonely miles into the race i realize that the goal of 2;18 was not realistic by myself so i slowed down allowing the main bunch to catch up. when the caught up to me a bunch of about 8 runner, i honestly felt pretty happy, atlast i had a group to run with but i knew it would be a tactical race to the finish. After the first half which was arrived in a pretty slow time, simon Sawe, ronnie, and i took off, dropping Cox,Richard, Pamenos and others. i tried my best to stay with them but at 19miles i realize i was running for third. the last 3 miles was hell and freaking boring but i dugged dip and took it home in 2:26, 8 min slower than the time i wanted to run.
back to the drawing boards for de Z-man.
P.S i would like to extend my condolences to all the families in my sweet Mopo who have lost a loved one, please be strong. God giveth and taketh Away.
