Notes
Rough day today. Very humid and legs were not feeling open or overly smooth. Add to that the heat and the greedy pace, was not what I was hoping for. Thought I could build through and close the last half well but already was struggling mile 1 and wanted to drop out before 5k. Knew it would be a long day. Finally saw a mile marker for the first time at 3 and got most of my splits from there. Hit 3 miles in 15:45, mile 4 in 5:24, 5:30, 5:30, 5:30, 5:34, 5:27, 5:23, 5:28, 5:33, 5:06, 43. Assuming the last 200 was wrong and or the mile before. Needless to say despite feeling terrible caught a good stretch of pretty even splits. Was hoping to catch more people but only one Kenyan dropped off and then after getting caught and passed by another white guy, finally stopped being a pussy and latched on, then ran down one of my two targets. Spent the last 3 or so miles thinking I would get the other one but never quite got there. Was trying to judge my kick well enough to get him, but never quite pulled it off. A rough day again and can't seem to get any good feedback with the heat lately so I hope my fitness is better than it looks.
