The Joy of Sign Up
Signing up for races sure is fun. You get caught up in the excitement and even forget how much training you are going to need.

The Start
So you've made it to the race and line up nervously at the starting line. As soon as the gun goes off you do too. You also conveniently forget any pacing strategy you may or may not have come up with before.

The Pain
After the first mile or two that fast start has caught up to you. This is when pain starts to kick in and the pre-race jitters wear off. You start to feel sluggish and tired while everyone else around you seems to be killing it.

The final sprint
No matter how tired you are seeing the finish line near always makes you sprint towards it. The end is near and you made it. You rest a while then feel like you are ready to sign up for your next race!
