The course was a tough one today. We race down to the Delaware River and then all the way back up. That meant the final two miles were primarily uphill. I had a solid first mile of 6:18, but my pace fell after that point.

The second mile was uphill and I got lost in the race. I spent too much time thinking about my legs and the pain in my stomach and hoping I wouldn't throw up rather than keeping my form efficient and turnover quick. I faded about 20 seconds per mile the whole race. The race finished on the track and I coasted to the finish. I had some energy left, but I didn't sprint which I now regret.

On the positive side I did come in with a one second PR on a tough course. Also I did have stomach issues but I didn't full out throw up which was encouraging. But I think this is the last race I am going to rush out of the gate. I can't positive split like this anymore. It hurts too much.

Focus more on the race and less of the surroundings.
Even out my splits, and trust in myself more.

Ran for about 20 minutes to let the legs cool off. Checked out the results and saw I was sixth in the AG so I headed home afterwards. Good food though!
