Notes
7 hrs of sleep, after going out the night before. Woke up before the alarm went off, but forced myself to stay in bed. Met up with Jake, Melissa, PR, PM, Dylan, Robert & Peter. Ran down on the RCP trails and did the Zoo loop. Pace didn't go too fast on that hill and we stayed together, but we picked it up a bit on the hill going up Ross Drive. We continued on the roads, which were hillier than I remember, but kept on pace. On Beach Dr I was already working a bit harder, just trying to stay with the group (2-2 breathing). Felt ok on the flats, but fell a bit behind on the last hill (10-20 meters). On the short flat segment I decided that I wouldn't be dropped and made a surge to catch the guys, which I almost did on that flat part, but had to keep going and finally caught up to the group at the top of the hill (w/ heavy breathing!). Afterwards felt fine, the effort left me somewhat energize for the remainder of the run and actually felt good. Pretty good effort overall.
