Notes
First all-out race since Philly. Congested started, spent a considerable amount of energy weaving, passing people who shouldn't have been so far forward. (Same old story.) The first mile ended up being too fast as a result, and I expended more than I should have. Fast, fast first split. Shoe came untied just short of the halfway point. I stopped to tie it, and lost time and momentum. Never really felt good after that. Felt like hell in the third mile, and the shoe came untied again. Ugh. Felt like I was slowing down the whole time, and thought I might have to stop and puke in the last mile. I did have a little kick, and managed to pass a few people right at the end.
mile 1: 6:27 (uh-oh)
mile 2: 6:50 (stopped to tie shoe)
mile 3: 6:52 (dying here!)
last 0.1: 0:44 (6:10 pace)
