Notes
Great race. Weather was perfect. After about a quarter mile, I was still near the leaders, there was probably 7 of us. The first mile is mostly downhill, so I pushed hard and ran a 5:38. That's the fastest mile I've run in 5 years. I did well on the second half of the race. I was within 10 seconds of the 4th place guy (kid, actually) for the whole race, and actually passed him with about 4/10 mile to go. He kicked early, and I thought I had time to catch up, but he beat me by 11 seconds. I was shooting for 19:30 today, and I thought it was an aggressive goal. I executed well and got a huge 35 second PR with 19:13.
