Notes
27:14.4 8k @ Little Tens. Goal was to get out pretty conservatively and just let the race come to me. Got out very easy, was actively trying to keep it chill. Hit the mile in 5:29.6 and felt really good. Tried to keep the effort even the next mile, and stay really smooth, hit the second mile in 5:32.9. Third mile I still felt pretty fine (5:29.0). Picked up the effort noticeably with 1.5 to go (mile 4 5:35.9), then opened up the last mile (5:07.1 for .97, 5:17 pace). Really pleased with the result, over a 45 second pr and felt really good all the way through. Felt really easy through 3 miles and I felt in control the entire time. Kept waiting to hit a wall, but it never really came. The kick I had at the end tells me I probably should have went earlier, but I tried to err on the conservative side today since I usually go out way too fast and die during 8ks. Really excited by this race, both individually and cause we balled out as a team. Can't wait to see what the rest of the year has in store.
