Notes
Cherry Festival 15k. Goal coming in was to break 52. Started out with Mark, Jamo, Philly and Rylaarsdam and felt very easy. We clicked off 5:20-5:22 miles like clockwork until it was just us 5. We all agreed to get up the hill and then it was go time. I didn't realize Rylaarsdam literally meant right at the top of the hill as he made a move on the downhill. I dropped on this move to try to save my quads. Mark and Philly broke away from those 2 and Rylaarsdam broke away from Jamo. I caught back up to Jamo with a mile to go and put a gap on him coming into the final straight away but I knew he was coming. I had no gears left and Jamo passed me with 150 meters to go. I really didn't care. I didn't expect to run this fast and this showed I'm right where I need to be in my training for Chicago. I don't know many splits except a 5:20 first mile, 5:58 mile up the hill and I roughly ran a 16:30-16:35 last 5k. Very pleased with this result!
