Rough footing, but fun. Didn't "tweak" anything. Went out hard - good.

Not much. Good effort and good run.

Comments:

Tried to rope in the other runner ASAP. Took over a mile to even get up to him, and then didn't pass for a while. Really worked the final 3:00!!
What would you do differently?:

I maybe could have tried to pass him sooner. But there weren't a lot of easy places to pass him once I reached him. I think I held back a little once I got up to him, where I COULD have gotten past him sooner. I don't know though....
Post race
Warm down:

Jogged a little and stretched my heels.
