Notes

Very fast course. Two slight inclines (not bona fide hills) at about 1.3 and 2.3 miles. I attacked the first and held 19:30 pace through 2 miles. But I was drained by the second and my mile 3 pace was down to 6:38 around halfway. I dug deep and clawed back to 6:28. Then around 3 miles we rounded a turn and could see the finish line, and I gunned it. Could not have run faster today. Probably shouldn't have pushed it that hard since I feel worn down lately. But I couldn't resist going for it in what turned out to be my best race to date. Great weather.
