Notes
Very strong race all things considered for where things have been. Had no idea what to expect after my legs have been cashed most of the week. Temps weren't crazy warm and luckily the sun was hiding because it was still pretty humid today. Only got to do a little racing of others today but mostly was trying to find a way to keep uptempo for the whole 7 miles with no stops. Felt bad on uphills but still made up ground. Struggled a bit on some of the flats and later in the race but overall a strong race. Splits were 5:55, 5:02, 5:30, 5:25, 5:42, 5:37, 5:01. Got to kick a bit trying to reel in Phil and keep away from Hastings. Had a pretty strong kick but still got outkicked by Kehoe which was gay but apparently I started behind him and still got the W over him in the results. A long way from where I would like to be but foot was pretty good and results were solid today. A step in the right direction. Legs/quads were hurting from the downhills the next couple days but a strong race at least. Hopefully on pace to be back to decent strength by sometime in the winter if I can keep making progress.
