Notes
Cigna Corporate 5k. Goal was 16:30, plan was to go out with Chris. I went out a little slower than Chris; went based on feel for what I felt was the right race effort. He was the next pack up. Ended up going through the mile in 5:25 pace, faster than I was expecting. Felt like I was going slower than that; not a bad thing. Used the second mile to continue picking my way up the pack. Got up to Chris and started running with him. Also Dave Brooks caught up to us so we were all running together. When we made the turnaround Dave and I broke off from Chris a little bit, and Dave ended up going by me and past Colin as well. Speaking of Colin, I could see him most of the race and he was getting closer through the second mile. Ended up catching him by probably 2.5, 2.75. I did not expect to catch up to Colin. Oh, and my 2nd mile turned out to be 5:20. We ran together until the final turn, where there was a big uphill Colin caught me on. That uphill was really bad for me. Gutted out that last stretch which felt quite long even though it wasn't. And then at the last second Chris came up past me and beat me at the line! Argh, not again lol. Except, looking at the results my net time was faster than Chris'. So I technically beat him. I am not claiming a complete victory as I feel we still started together. It is weird that's how the results turned out. We will have to have a rematch at whatever our next race together is. Red and white XC race???
