Notes
The goal was sub 17:00. No goal for placing, just to run hard the whole way. 5:33 with Zoolander out in front by like 20 seconds at mile one. I didn't realize that I was passing Rex Radloph right before mile one, but went by without too much trouble. Wanted to get a gap going and did. Second mile is fast and went 5:18. I was not feeling great at that point though and three people including Weston were right behind me at mile 2. I struggled in the last mile, but pride kicked in and had to get it done! Staggered up the last long hill just burning and then Andy Shlackatack is announcing that I am the course record holder as I am just plain dying to the finish line. It was a good race, came in second and only a few seconds off the goal. I want to be sub 16:45 in two weeks. Hoping that the achillis will hold out here. Everything else felt good just sore achillis on both legs. 6:15 last mile and a tenth. Oosh..
*Also had 5 of my students there to run as well! Great run to Konrad, Bryce, Maia, Liam and Brendan. Awesome to see that!
