Notes
Freedom 4-miler. Took 1st place by 20 seconds. The course was changed due to construction and the race director admitted it was harder than last years course. The biggest hill on the course that you only ran down last year, they had you run up twice this year+I had to weave around walkers going downhill the last mile. I was not taking splits, I just got out into a comfortable rhythm up the hill. Some random kid tried to go with me, but I dropped him up the hill. From there it was all by myself. Could definitely feel myself slowing down the back half of the race, but it was a lot of rolling hills on the back half. Overall I did run 1 second faster than last year+the giant trophy is staying in Rho-4 for another year! 92nd street really helped me stay strong when it got mentally tough. Would have been nice to know how this would have correlated to last years course. Considering I did run a bit faster than last year on a tougher course, I'll take it.
