Birkie #4 is officially in the books. I am happy about how well it went on how little training I had under me. It was painful, which I knew it would be. Those hills destroyed me and I was cramping pretty bad by the end. But it was a beautiful day, the sun was shining, and I could feel my fingers! That is huge since last year I got pretty bad frostbite on a few fingers. There's nothing like waking up to 13 degrees compared to -13 from the year before. I knew it would be a great day, I wasn't expecting much from my body but I was able to push the pace a bit, of course I'm super competitive so I would have loved to beat some more people but I couldn't get my body to go any faster so can't really complain about that. I doubt I'll be able to move up a wave but hopefully that motivates me for next year to really get my butt in gear and train properly.
So now that the Birkie is done I'm excited to try my hand at swimming and triathlons. And of course there's the Tough Mudder, May 19 that I need to get running and strength training for. I hope to sign up for the Get in Gear 5 km with the family April 28.
So my official Birkie results are below, I wish I could have kept up the 4:39 pace over the middle kilometers but I was a hurting unit. This will give me motivation for next year.
