Notes
felt great! good race. went out in around a 5:20.. and just maintained close to that pace the whole race.. really could feel the altitude difference.. it hurt but i could hurt way longer! wanted to break 27 but i came really close in my first race at sea level.. should have gone with the SAU guy with a little over a mile to go.. he ended up beating me by around 10 seconds.. i had plenty left when I crossed the finish line.
"He was really afraid that he was going to lose, because he hadn't done much training, yet he went out and forced the pace again in that race and ended up breaking the field. He was tough."
