Warmed up with my F4 athletes did 10 minute run, dynamics and 4x75 meter strides. Legs were tight but manageable.

Comments:

Started out strong and got to mile 1 and said, I cannot hold this pace today. Felt like I back off on mile 2 but held pace. Lots of people passed me here. Then settled in and was able to hold strong through the rest of the race and pick off some of my competitors. I really focused on cadence and that kept me strong. Kept picking people off at miles 3 and 4. I was having a good race. A bit of a kick at the end to beat soem guys coming strong. Beat Sean O'neil, Triathlete at the 4.5 miles.
What would you do differently?:

Good race considering I have had a big run volume week and ran 20 miles yesterday and my legs were very tired. Very pleased with my results today. Now some rest this week and a massage tomorrow.
