Notes
69 and 84% humid.
Went out waay too fast. looked down at the quarter and was doing about 6:30. Slowed down but damage was done somewhat. Struggled to keep 7:30 after that. After the turn had a hard time with with mile 3 then picked up for mile 4. Should've hit lap when I kicked to see what I had. Tried to reel in a chick at the end but as I got on her heals we approached the shoot so i decided to not be "that guy" and let her finish before me. There was a dude trying hard to catch me but I managed to fend him off,...unless he decided to do the same thing i did.
Pretty disappointed since I thought I could break 30. Had thought I beat RttS by a second but looking back realized I was slower by 7 seconds. Kinda pissed cuz I thought I could have easily shaved 30-60 seconds off. Not sure what was the bigger factor...going out fast or humidity. torn between feeling defeated and not really wanting to run much or getting serious to destroy my PR next time. Guess looking back at papa johns when i said i'd be happy to just crack 8 for a pace i'm happy to be consistent around 7:45. just wish i'd run smarter today.
