Notes
Solid race this evening at Ivy-Redmon. Back felt alright on the warm-up and while staying loose before the race. Anthony put some Tiger Balm on my back which burned but kept my back very relaxed. Got out pretty well in 5:08 or so and then relaxed way too much. I saw Ty next to me at one point and realized I was running way too slow so I took off. Passed Bombkamp around 4k or so and Sumida right after that. Was a pretty good confidence boost so I was able to keep pushing pretty hard. Saw Carl too but I wasn't able to bridge the gap to him. Passed Ian with about 1k to go but he ended up barely getting me at the line. Threw up my apple at the end so that's the last time I eat an apple before I race...
Fairly pleased with my race overall.
