I feel that way too when I get in my comfort pace and just can’t blow out anymore speed! Frustrating! You get in a mini-race with the people right around you, so you end up trying to just beat even one of them. Many of the triathlons I’ve done were won by teenagers, btw…ugh!

I think a 16 year old won the first 5K I did. Made me not feel quite so bad since he beat every single adult in the race. I’m with Kati’s dad…just get ‘er done! Nice job!

Kati – I LOVE your Dad’s saying! We’re out to just complete this, not compete, so it fits us perfect. Thanks for sharing!

I had many of those same thoughts when I recently ran/walked my first 5k! Keep up the good work. The Relay looks like a LOT of work!
My dad had a great saying for us at the 5k…”We are here to complete, not compete!” That was good for me…of course I would not be finishing first or earning any awards for my finishing time but I just wanted to complete the race in the allotted time frame.
