"Pissed!"

I ran the fastest 32 kms I've run in probably 15 years. I was under 2:30 at that point.  And then it happened! I am very disappointed, which is a step up from the "bitterly disappointed" I was for several hours after the race.
By the time it happened I had my post completely prepared in my head and it was gonna be beautiful.
That post no longer applies.
I'm not gonna tell you what happened today because today is for feeling sorry for myself.
If I thought Old John would let me get away with it I may try for another day but alas, I know him too well.  So I promise to tell you the whole unemotional story tomorrow.....well  maybe with a bit of emotion.
Meanwhile I ran an amazing 32 kms today!!  I have to hold on to that.

(run 42.2 kms, 3:37:54)

...and this one describes exactly how I feel...

“It was one of those times you feel a sense of loss, even though you didn't have something in the first place. I guess that's what disappointment is- a sense of loss for something you never had.”---Deb Caletti,
