Notes

Good race, held tight with Dave for first two miles then he took off. First mile had an uphill for the first half, came in at 6:42 which was pretty much right where I expected. SEcond mile had one rolling hill but otherwise was a slow steady decline. I had hoped to pull in 6:20 for this one but came in around 6:29. Last mile has a big hill - about 1/3 mile long but pretty steep right at the beginning of the last mile. I felt like I was walking up that hill and by the time I hit the top my legs were like lead. After a minute I got some back but there was still more than a half mile to go at this point. Chased down an 11 year old that I passed with .1 miles left in the race, but he apparently had more of a kick left because he touched me out at the finish. Last 1.1 miles I have at 7:08 but still waiting for the official results because I'm not sure I hit it at the right time. Final results were 20:16 so a 7:05 for that last 1.1 miles.

All in all, another PR and a pretty good race. Other than the hill I felt pretty relaxed through the race.
