Notes
Harder than I was expecting. Thought I had at least a 32 in the bag. Got out pretty hot, the lead guys really got after it. Came through the mile around 5:02. Had to cool it a bit after that, didn't want to blow my load so early. Mile two felt comfortable again through 5:15. But after that any time I tried to move faster than 5:30 pace, I could hang on. Ended up hitting 5:30's on the dot the rest of the race. There were points where I made conscious efforts to pick up, but my legs just couldn't handle it. It was a little frustrating. Probably cause I rarely do track workouts anymore. I've found a nice sweet spot between 5:30 and 5:40 that I can hold for miles on end, but anything fast than that drains me pretty quick.
