Notes

ECAC 5k championships. There were only 5 people in the race since everyone was afraid of the bank. The race went out pretty quick. 2:57 for the first k, 4:45 for the 1600. Right after 1600 the Wash & Jeff kid picked it up a little bit. I ran a 35, but lost contact and started slowing down. 2k-4k was ugly, a lot of 37 highs and 38s. I was able to fight back a little in the last k and close in 66ish. Felt much better than last weekend, but I still feel like that drop in mileage and intensity the week of LLs set me back this season. I thought I was in better shape than that. I'm going to get back into 80 mile weeks going into outdoors and hold that for most of the season. I want to really get after my early season steeples unlike last year where I just sat for 4 laps then picked it up. I think going out in 4:50-5:00 and fading the last k will be more beneficial than closing a 9:35 with a 70. Who knows, maybe I can go out in 4:50 AND close with a 70.
