Notes
3k to start the year off at the Robert H. Johnson meet at home. This race went really well. My goal was to hit the mean of 8:58 at some point this season, but I was pretty skeptical about hitting it on this day. For most of the race I was in a pack that included some USI guys along with Mason and Cordell. We went through the mile in like 4:47-8, which is pretty much the pace to hit the mean I think, and I felt really comfortable. I was kind of boxed in the whole race so I just rode it until about a K to go. I had a little opening so I used it, went to the front, and pretty much took off. This unattached guy from Spalding (a coach I believe) killed it from the gun so he was nowhere in sight, so I moved into second when I made the move. I pushed hard and gapped everyone else pretty well, and I just BARELY missed getting lapped haha. Huge PR for me (17 seconds). Pretty hyped for this event now!
