Notes
it's so hard to think in races like this. but maybe that's a good thing. I controlled the first mile and then let the crowd take me the rest of the way. I tried to keep picking it up. The one thing I did put conscious effort on was taking 30 quick steps at the top of the hill with a mile to go. And the last 1k I knew would go by fast so I just went. My finishing straightaway was not very pretty because I pushed even harder than the hardest I thought I could push.
