Notes

Tempo turned out to be a bit harder than expected today. Chris said the goal was 5:40-5:20 pace as a cut-down on his grass loop he had in DuPage. It was a 4 loop route with figure eights in the middle. Got out harder than expected apparently. Built from where we started, which was just over 5:20 pace. Loop times were 9:24,9:10,9:02,8:58. They were supposed to be 1.75 each loop give or take. I felt strong and smooth with him through 2 loops. Stayed with him through the third loop but started to tie up in there. He had another gear and I just couldn't stick with him on the 4th loop. He dropped an 8:37 to my 8:58 but I still felt strong being able to stick as long as I did and end up so close at the end. He's still in another league right now but I feel like I'm slowly making up ground.
