Notes
27:09.50 8k @ Spartan Grand Classic. Got out at a pace that felt right, but who's to say at this point. Hit the mile in 5:21.2 and the 2nd in 5:31.2. Felt like I was slowing down a lot from there, but I really wasn't, just suffering I suppose. Miles 3-4 were 11:16.2 so a bit a of slow down, but not too bad. Hit mile 4 in ~22:09 and thought I was gonna run like 28 flat, but hit the last .97 in 5:01.8ish. Realized I had a chance to PR on the final downhill and it really surprised me. Kick was rather weak, but my legs just had no pop so I'm not that mad. Managed to get a 4.9s PR which was not what I was expecting at all, but I'll take it, was really expecting to run like 28:30 today after the last few weeks. Still a ways to go to get back to where I was and where I want to be, but a lot less ground to claw back than I had thought. Also puked after this for the first time which was cool.
