Comments:

End of a recovery week for me and my legs felt loose and light during the warmup, so I thought I would shoot for a PR and try to go under 24 minutes. Well, I PR'ed but missed 24 by 13 seconds. Should have pushed harder, especially the 2nd mile. Had a little too much left in the tank at the finish.


What would you do differently?:

Run faster. Have more confidence in my ability.
Post race
Warm down:

About a mile of easy running.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I'm not very fast. I should push myself harder.

Event comments:
