Notes
Official time: 9:42.78, Garmin time 9:42.8. Don't think I've ever seen them match so closely.
Garmin splits:
74.9
76.8

77.6
77.7
2:01.7 (600m)
77.5
Ran alone from gun to wire. Rob Harber from work was in second but he was at least 200m back, maybe more. So, without any competition it was hard to run an optimal time. I feel like I could have run better, so overall I am very encouraged by this time since it is 3-4 seconds faster than last year and last year I had a guy to run with and compete against. I think, therefore, that I am more fit (maybe significantly so) than I was this time last year.
Weight taken first thing the following morning.
