Notes
Sumdoger invite. Was nervous due to my cold. Ended up taking 2 allergy pills, my inhaler and wore a nasal strip to try to help. Got out too slow off the line, but didn't fight people. Just slowly moved up till I caught up to the pack. From there took over the lead to pace our pack. Focused on moving up every loop. We were together for 6K then Nathaniel, Addison and I started moving faster. With a K to go, Philly caught back up to us and was moving. Nathaniel and I latched on for the ride. Didn't have my best kick ever because i was holding on, but still broke 26 for the first time WITH A COLD. Not really sure how I pulled that out. Just trusted my teammates and didn't try to use being sick as an excuse. Everyone ran well and we had a lot of PRs. Great day!
I did hear a few splits. 4:59-5:00 at the mile, 16:08 at 5K which means last 3k was 9:47, so pretty even paced race.
