Notes

Got out in like 7-8th then people were just running slow and I moved up to 4th for awhile and it was so easy. Mile in 4:56 Mike said I heard 4:52 who know its was the 180 meter track at Coast Guard. Then at about the mile I was so relaxed I thought I was going to win it. I thought going in that I could run 8:55-9:15 based on recent training. However, The Coast Guard guy right in front of me decided to slow down just at the beginning of a curve and I had to go around him at the end of the curve in lane two. At the same time Forrest Wilbur and the UMD kid took off and so I was in no man's land and I tried to put in a surge and catch up but in the space of like a lap it went from easy drafting to hard catch-up. Any way I ran, and a Coast Guard guy came past me with 400 or so left and I tried to not let him get away but even the 3k is too fast for me. PR and that is good and I know there is much more left in me I think I needed a faster starting pace and it was a 70 mile week in 6 days so training intensity has not lowered much. Four consecutive PRs.
