There’s good news, and there’s bad news.
The good news is that I made 50 euros in the race today. First bit of prize money that I have ever made. It was pretty sweet.
Bad news, my watch broke. The band broke so I can’t wear it now. I am desperately in need of some sort of gear deal so that I don’t have to buy a new one.
So the race was better tonight, but still not great. I just didn’t feel exactly like myself. But ran 3:41 for the 8000th time all year (well actually 5th) and just feel like I need to dip under that barrier just to feel a little better about myself.
There was more of a group staying in Ghent tonight, so, drank some beers with them. I may or may not have had a few too many, but it was a really good time. Got to hang out with really fun people who are also very fast and just have a good time. Its funny to see that the faster people over here don’t really like to talk about running, they just like to have a good time. And this doesn’t mean that they aren’t serious about the running stuff, it just means that they like to go out and be happy rather than worry about how fast they ran or whether they are getting into the next race. It was Gent Fest, and it was just people moving from tent to tent and drinking beers.
I had a flotrack interview so check that out here…
