Notes

This was a horrible race. My goal was under 35 minutes, so sub-7 pace. I went out too fast and crashed hard. The last mile was 45 sec/mile slower than the first. Plus it hurt like hell. I felt lightheaded and my eyes wouldn't focus. Definitely the most painful race I've run.

Mile 1: 6:50

Mile 2: 6:54

Mile 3: 7:08

Mile 4: 7.16

Mile 5: 7:36

I should have gone out more conservatively at 7:05 or 7:10 and run negative splits. At least it wouldn't hurt the way positive splits do.
