Notes
16:38.10 5000m @ the Hillsdale Tune-Up. Felt pretty good coming in and was ready to race well. Race got out pretty slowly (38.7 through 200) and I settled in from there. Ran well through the mile, but started to slow down a lot after that. Split: 5:07.7, 5:19.6, 5:33.4, 37.5 for the last 200 (200m splits @ http://www.hillsdalechargers.com/sports/wtrack/2016-17/files/HillsdaleTuneUp.htm). In hindsight I got out too fast the first mile and paid for it later on. Was alone for most of the last mile, which definitely contributed to me slowing down as well. I think I let 25 laps get to me a little mentally instead of taking it one lap at a time. I also should have tried to stay with the Albion kid when he passed me, having someone to run with would have helped tremendously. Didn't wear a watch either, which was a mistake since they didn't have a clock at the finish, it probably would have helped me pace more reasonably. Disappointed by the huge positive split, but I ran hard and I can't be too disappointed with a 5k pr indoors in february off mostly threshold work. This race leaves me with a lot of time to cut off come outdoors as well.
