Notes
4th of July 5k. This was nice. Pretty much hit my primary goal of dropping a minute from last year. Felt like it took me a mile and a half to settle in. My backs been very tight since the long run, so my stride is a bit off. First half I felt like I got out in a good spot. I was running with the top woman who turned out to be Ryan’s wife. She maintained her fitness and I came back a little bit. Cooper passed me right around that point as well.
I felt hot but I didn’t feel as though I needed to take time to pour water on my head. I tried to just focus on passing different people. I got DJ BJ around mile 2. Passed two more guys shortly after that. One of them told me to go get the guy in front. I wasn’t trusting myself, but I coached myself to just put a little surge in. Got that guy, which got me closer to Jose. Passed him at 400 to go and at that point I figured I might as well turn it up a notch and try to get Enrique and Cooper again, which I did.
Chest felt very good, head didn’t feel overheated. I’m happy with how it felt the last mile.
