Notes
Race went way worse than imagined. Legs felt tight during the first mile while running fairly smoothly chasing a couple guys in the 5k. Took the lead with Lloyd right at the mile and stayed up there until my turn off not quite a half mile later. Headed up the hill, which was worse than imagined and then knew the heat started to kick in from there. Never really felt comfortable at all and never really had any zip in my legs. Really frustrated with my lack of ability to get it done today just because I wasn't chasing anyone. I never recall being this zapped by the heat before. Mile splits were 4:53(probably too agressive but taking advantage of competition while it was there), 5:30 uphill, 5:21, 5:11, 5:22(slight uphill), 5:04(downhill), :59. Way off the record I was shooting for and struggling on tired legs after a long week.
