Notes
I'll take the result today anytime with the rest of last night and this morning being the precursor. Long night last night in Woodstock and tried to call it an early night and make it home by 2:30ish. Just exhausted. Got woken up at like 7:45 or so thinking it was an 8am race. Luckily race didn't start til 8:30 because we didn't leave til after 8 and then drove about 10 minutes to get that direction. Parked over a mile away and finally slowly walked/jogged over toward the school. Made it to the start line with like 3 minutes to spare. Warmed up during the first mile. After almost wiping out b/c some kid cut me off in the first 400 settled in and eventually got up to the shoulder of the leader. Felt miserable and not open because I had no stretching or normal warm-up routine. Came through the mile in 5:18, must faster than I thought it would be or could be. Decided to surge because if it came down to a close race today I'd be screwed, especially while still being careful with the hip. Pulled away plenty the 2nd mile and dropped a 5:07. Third mile was 5:07 and closed with a :33. Not bad all things considered.
