Notes
5k at GVSU. A warmer, but not too windy night, so conditions were pretty good. It's nice to finally get under 16. Decided I was just going to go out relaxed and behind the guys. We clicked off 75s and came through the mile in 5:01. I took over around 900 in and wanted Landon to take it again about 800 later. Problem was Landon was not feeling it and I realized after the mile this was going to be mostly a solo effort. I just focused on staying relaxed and really didn't focus on splits, just on how I was feeling. I know 3k was 9:30 and that was the only other split I got. There were a few guys I passed that could take the pace for a little bit, but they were fading and I could really only use them for 200 meters before I had to go again. Still would have liked to close harder considering I think my last lap was only like a 73-74. But for having to do this all by myself, I was just happy the 16 minute barrier is gone. I know with some actual competition I can run much faster+I know I can close much faster. I am hoping I get a shot at a 10k next week, but we will see. If this is my last race of the track season, it would be a nice way to end what has amounted to be a pretty dismal season. Bolenes also got under 16 and we had a lot of people PR tonight!
