Notes
This was the Razor Sharp Minds Fall Classic. I ran 8 miles warmup beforehand. Set out to do maybe 10:00 miles, not sure how it would go. Missed first mile marker, at 2 miles was at 17:56, mile 3 allegedly 8:28, mile 4 was 8:43, saw marker for mile 5 but did not click watch (brain lock, apparently). Felt OK first 2 miles, felt GREAT in mile 3, OK in mile 4, and then reality set in. Did not feel terrible at any point, only working moderately hard. Any harder would have been really unpleasant and I was just not up for that today.
Drank water and had a 2X caffeine gel before starting.
