DANA POINT TURKEY TROT 10K

Ok so here is the story about my Turkey Trot. First off the race was at 7am. Second, I did not sleep an ounce last night, I laid in bed for about 4 hrs not sleeping, just because I couldn't. I wasn't nervous or anything like that, I just couldn't fall asleep, and its the worst when your roommated does fall asleep then makes sleeping noises. So I hung out trying to sleep from 10:30pm - 3:15am, and once 3:15 came along I decided to go make breakfast. I ate my normal breakfast then came back upstairs and actually dozed off for about 45 min. WHICH WAS A BAD THING.
I was supposed to be out of the house at 4:50, and we didn't get up until 5:20, and by the time we were actually out of the house was 5:35. The drive was about an hour down south, and we were making fine time, we actually got off the exit for the race at 6:30, so I thought we were gonna be good. WRONG, WRONG. From there it took 15 min to go a quarter mile. So at 6:45am, Libby was driving, I told him I had to go, so I hopped out of the car and ran with my crap to the starting line. I got there and Skip was yelling at me, but I really didn't listen cause I had to try and salvage my race. However, it he had not gotten there when he did, real early, we all would have missed our race. I again want to say how great of a coach he is. Anyways, so I took a big dump and then did 3 strides and off we went. The race did not unfold the way I wanted it to. We went out real fast, since I really didn't warmup and was real tired, I had no idea what pace we were running. It was right around 4:40 for the first mile, after that I just backed right off and the lead pack just took off from me. There were probably like 4 times in the race that I just pulled over to the side and started jogging cause of how shitty I felt, but I reaffirmed myself and then got back into it. I passed 5k in about 15:35, and that was after jogging at a point to. I was by myself for the rest of the race, and jogging happened a few more times but I was still able to salvage a 32:30 out of it. Not too bad considering. The went home and slept for 3 hours, cooked dinner, and ate.
