Notes
2015 Outdoor CCIW Conference 5k at Wheaton. ended up getting 7th place so i did score for the team. race went out pretty quick and i sat at the back of the pack and slowly picked off people as the race went. i felt great beforehand, but i was having trouble breathing and getting into a rhythm during the race. it was also much hotter on the track and a little windy on the homestretch. i found myself very fatigued with like 7 laps left but i kept fighting. with like 800 to go i was behind will cross and he told me to go with him and i tried but i just didnt have anything left in my legs. i ended up getting passed by koch with 350 to go so i lost to ben, trav, plank, will, keith, and koch. i cant really be disappointed because ben only went 14:59 so i was 30 seconds back, but not only did i not really feel good, especially since i had been dealing with a sore throat the last couple days, but also i competed to the best of my ability given my 7 weeks of training and i finished with nothing left. it was scary actually because the last 50-60 meters i was so gassed i almost started walking, but i finished and scored and helped the team out. and we ended up winning so thats what is most important
