It paid off!!! I broke 10 minute miles in the 5K this morning!!! ~29:55. It averages out to about 9:40s. My goal for the 4th is 9:30s so I'm not far off. I can definately feel the Cathe muscle endurance kicking in that last mile and then pure mental toughness the last 1/4 mile. Ran the whole thing except the water stop. Breakfast was an apple breakfast bar. It was hard though. Especially because of the small hills. I think that is mostly a mental block though. But so worth it at the end. I hate that they have awsome food (Rookies catered) but I don't feel like eating that stuff until I've already left (like right now!).
