Notes

Wanted to be out really conservative today and run the whole thing on feel just to get a positive experience out of my first 8k. First mile was about 5:35, so much for being conservative. After that we settled a bit and came through 11:35 at 2 miles and 17:25 through 3. Even though we were quicker than I would've liked I was still feeling pretty good at around halfway. At around the 5k mark I started to fatigue a bit and this is where I messed up. I ran the next 2k very slow, a combination of running way too conservative and just feeling bad for myself over the hills. Overall it was a good learning experience and I just have to be more aggressive and trust my fitness in the middle of the race
