Notes
9:19.25 3000m @ Illinois Club Relays. Got off the line pretty good and had the same thing happen to me as has is my other 3ks this year. Good position the first 400-800ish then started to get passed and lose ground on people. 400 in 72 and 800 in ~2:27. Still felt ok, but race seemed to be getting away from me as I got towards the mile. Hit the 1600 in ~4:58 and I thought I need to move if I want to PR, so I noticeably started working. After that I just worked up to Aross and Streng inch by inch. Hit 800 to go in 6:50 and knew there was little margin for error if I wanted to PR. Caught Streng with about 500 to go and stuck on him. Last 400 was all pain, quite a blur, wasn't able to get Streng, but I just didn't really have anything left. Good race, was hoping to run closer to 9:15, but a PR is a PR and I'm proud of the way I fought the second half of the race after feeling like I was losing ground.
