Notes
There was about 3 hours between the 1500 and the 5k. I was surprised at how fresh my legs felt after already racing the 1500. My calves were a little sore but other than that I didn't feel to bad.
Ran a nearly perfect pace. 5:09, 5:11, 5:04 were my mile splits. I ran the first two laps of the race out in lane two because I was trying to help Jason. I should've tucked in earlier and maybe that would have been enough to get me the three seconds I needed to get under 16. With 800 left I was at 13:36 so I saw I was going to have to go 2:24 for the last 800 which I wasn't sure I was going to be able to do but I think if I would've just clenched my teeth and gone after it, I probably would've done it. After coming so close I will probably enter just the 5k at Miseri and try to break it there.
The Matumbos felt great, even in a race that long!
