Notes
This was my watch time. FAT had 9:28.4. This is a substantial PR. My objectives going in were:
1) PR.
2) Beat Spiegel (sorry Sam)
3) Go out in 5:00
4) Close last 1600m in 5:00 (failed)
As it ended up, I was trailing some North Central men, but there was no one else to run with. Ended up going through the mile in 4:53, only 4 seconds off my PR mile. I knew I would just try to hold on as much as possible. I actually passed Sam Butler twice. Gave him a good kick in the pants, but I did not have enough to run with him. I think I would have had more kick if I had been in Contact with Butler, but I'm not sure.
Felt awful after the race. Couldn't really breathe. In hindsight, I think I was developing a cold. Perhaps I could have gone faster... I'll find out next time I run a 3k.

May be I should put this in a workout CD as a joke:
