Notes
Easy warm-up and cooldown, first race this season after 8 days of being sick. Not sure what to expect so I went out very conservative in 5:45. I was easily 50th through the first half mile and then slowly began picking off runners. Went 5:37 for the next mile and 5:58 for the final 1.1 averaging 5:25 for that portion of the race. I think I finished in the top 10, but I misjudged where the finish was and missed picking off 3 more runners who were coming back to me quickly. That won't happen again. Overall time 17:20 (5:35 avg).
