Notes
What to say about this? I was hoping for a time a little closer to 9-flat.
I did a good job of running my own race early, splits even and through the first mile in 4:50, which is right where I wanted to be. The plan was to move hard over the second half of the race and maybe even negative split, but I think I forgot that plan. I moved up nicely through the field, even though I was slowing down.
Basically with 1200 to go, I should have tried to shift gears and go harder, but I pussed out and settled for a couple of 74s.
On the other hand, this is a pretty solid run at a distance that I haven't raced in 13 years.
Also, I beat my advisee by a second and a half, outkicked him, ha. Finished 6/25 in my heat, came in seeded 9th.
