Notes
5th overall at Clarksburg. Went in with intention to use as a workout but saw other teams ahead and realized I needed to do well for team to place, so started to progress after 1st 5k. Was in a small group through 5k then it broke up and I trailed a larger group by 15-20 meters until I caught them at the turnaround point. I started to push a bit to close gap on 3 other guys way ahead and to string out the pack. When I got to 15k surged a bit, and then at 10 miles (53:18) I really dropped the hammer. Only one guy went with me and we battled back and forth several times in last few kms but he pulled away and was stronger while I was cramping in the last 1k. Couldn't see finish and would have needed a really fast, painful last 150-200 meters so settled for 5th and pretty much same PR as before.
