Total Time = 20m 37s
Overall Rank = 29/

Pre-race routine:

Ate a bowl of cereal before I left. Drank some water on the way down and that's about it.

Event warmup:

Ran maybe a mile slowly to warm up. Did some stretching and then did 4 or 5 quick 50 yard sprints near the start line to loosen up.

Comments:

I went out fast like I planned. 1st mile was 6:03 and then I wanted to try and cruise through the second mile in about 6:30 but I thin it was closer to 6:55. I had a hard time keeping my leg turn over as fast as I wanted. I felt like I slowly faded a little and wasn't able to finish as strong as I had hoped.

What would you do differently?:

Not sure.

Post race

Warm down:

Drank some water and waited for Tyra and Hunter to finish and cheered them on.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I think I need to do some speed work at the track. Maybe some 400's and 800's would do me some good.
