Notes
Jacob showed, so no victory possible. Dang cold. Not as warm as predicted for 9 o'clock.
* Change. I did PR after all by one second. Official results show 17:50.
No intention of busting a gut to PR since goal was met last week. So this allowed me to run more relaxed.
Thus, I ran the same time as my PR with no soreness and much less pain. There was nothing or no one to push me over the last mile, so I eased off the throttle. The cold seemed to make me tighter than usual also, and was into a south wind, so I cruised in with no sprint. I am pleased. To run 5:45 now seems like 6's. That's what I've been wanting to feel.
This is a very fast course. I'd like to see it be certified. I could've run 17:30 if pushing. Also I ran much more even splits.
