Notes
went really well. felt sluggish during the warmup, mouth felt dry. excited at the start. lots of kids and crowding the first 200m or so, but got out okay. caught lots of women/girls along the way, lead from the turnaround, and gave myself lots of pep talks during the second half. really kicked hard the last 400m (about 85 seconds or less). Mile splits 6:55, 6:55, 6:31, 5:33 pace for the last 0.1 miles. First place!
