Grene Takes Two Mile

Hi again Ric,
I won the River Run 2-mile, but it was a pathetic race. I felt fantastic the first mile and a quarter. But after that, my legs felt heavy and cardio went south. I am sure it has to do with my iron depletion because that is how I felt a couple years ago when it first happened to me.

For the River Run; I ran my first mile in 5:24 and felt really strong. A couple minutes after the first mile, I unraveled and couldn't race anyone. I let guys pass me left & right. Usually I can jump and surge during a race.
I usually catch it before too long because I can feel the iron depletion when I do 2 and 3 mile tempo runs. Since we have been doing mostly short speed work, it hasn't effected me.

Certainly by the invitational mile in Indiana I will be back on track. I don't think I have lost anything speed wise.

Mary
