Notes
This was my first 10k. I was quite nervous about what it would be like and how much it would hurt. Coach told us to start out a little conservatively and to not be in front of 60th place by 2 miles. At one point before the 2 mile, I heard someone yell that we were around 90th place, but it felt harder than conservative pace and I almost let myself panic. But, I saw Dallas, Zach and Derek in front of me and just kept my eyes on them the whole rest of the race. There were times when I felt my composure breaking down and panic setting in, but I definitely did a good job of holding that off. Overall I felt like I had a race similar to 2 weeks ago, where I started out slow and spent the race moving up through the pack.
