Notes
Alumni long run. Guys kept the pace much more relaxed than last year so I felt good until Herrick. Eventually was prompted to pick it up a touch near the lake so didn't a little pick up in pace and then a harder surge so I could take a bathroom break. Never felt good afterwards trying to catch the group. Caught the slower pack before the main group turned to Blackwell. Lots of carnage afterwards as I just tried to stay smooth and not die too much since I was going way longer than I should. Last 7 miles or so was painful but tried to keep decent form and attempt to stay close to Bando and Dom. Was getting dropped pretty good on the way out of McDowell so started doing 1 min on, 1 min off until I could get closer to them. Caught Dom on the riverwalk and was trying to close on Bando. He was going too fast but was pushing hard for what I have now. Not the old me but a good run overall for not being super smart about it.
