Notes
ran in seeded race at Great American. kept the nerves under control, which is good, but the race wasn't that big. gun went off and got to the front safely. hung around in the back of the front group for the first mile. 4:49 for the first. went up the hill laboring but Sam Parsons got me to relax and felt a lot better. moved a little bit on the flat 1k but it was super hot and in full sun so we definitely slowed down. hit the down hill and flew down it passed a couple guys then took the lead on the first little hill in the back. 2mile in 10:10ish and then just started rolling. ran the last mile all by myself. hit the hill and tried to get up it quickly but pretty difficult, got moving pretty well though. 15:38 for 5k and beat 2nd place by about 20sec. felt pretty good about the race considering I ran a lot of it alone and how hot it was I was pretty pleased. would've been nice to run in the champ race though.
