This race hurt. It was really windy, and my plan of getting :15 faster each mile did not work out. I was about 1 minute from my PR. At the last half mile there was a guy about 50 yards behind me and I decided I wasn't going to let him beat me. He was gradually getting closer and closer and at the last 30 yards, we were in full sprint mode. Our gun time was identical to the tenth of a second, but apparently I had like a :14 head start so he beat me by two people overall. I view the run as ok, and it's my second fastest to date but I know I can do better if I would just train more consistently.

train more?

Tried not to die


Not a huge turnout (I got first out of one in my age group bc the only other person in my AG won the race) and not a very fast race (the winning time was 17:something) but races are always fun, so I had a good time.
