Notes
wasn't sure how my legs would react to racing after the long w/u. Headed reasonably fast and tucked in behind brett ely by mile 1. 2nd mile was windy. Broke wind for awhile, then decided to let the 2nd woman and another guy do the work as we rounded by Mobil station. Made the turn into the fresh pond look and felt relatively comfortable and blew by the guy who had passed me. Mile 3 was sheltered and it actually felt warm. Worked off of 2nd woman. Passed her shortly after mile 3 and tried to keep Brett and guy in red shirt within striking distance. Starting to feel it by 4 mile split with dirt path uphill section. Made the turn back to the roads and was surprised by the uphill. Brett put in a surge and I couldn't catch her. Tried to reel in the next guy, but legs were dead and weren't responding. Last mile was the slowest. Still a PR by 16 seconds. Based on HR, could have pushed harder, but just couldn't access the upper gear.
