Turkey Trot Training Group
Congratulations to my racers!!! I hope you’re still celebrating your performances from Thursday! I’m extremely pleased with each of you! To sum it all up, Stacy had an initial goal of "completing the race without stopping". In training, once we determined she would accomplish that goal, we set a time goal of beating last year’s race time- which she did…. by 10 minutes this year! Her 14 min./mile in training turned into a 12:55 min./mile race time! Awesome Job Stacy!!!
New to Austin and having a slight fear of "running the hills", Leah also had an initial goal of "not stopping" during the race. Once it became very clear that hills would not be a problem and she would be able to do the distance, Leah began focusing on increasing her speed. Leah was running 13 minute miles in training but set a race goal of 58 minutes--- which she achieved--- by completing the race in 57:49! An excellent time and an average of 11:34 minutes per mile! Outstanding Job Leah!!!
The TT was only Rob’s 2nd race to enter and complete. Rob put his head down and put everything into every workout and began to make good progress with increasing his distance and speed and improving his form during the training. Rob was running 11 minute miles in training and set an aggressive goal of 52 minutes for the race. He beat his goal with a finishing time of 51:40 - a 10:20 min. mile! Way to go Rob!!!
I'm proud of you guys!
