Notes
Felt pretty damn good today. A bit of pain in the Achilles during the race, but overall not bad. Dan wanted me to start out conservatively and then pick it up throughout. Tucked into a pack and took it easy for the first 3mi (~5:45/mi pace). Decided it was time to pick it up and I needed to work towards another group before the gap grew any larger. I started working my way up and caught up with a couple guys running ~5:35/mi. Cruised along with them until an incline around 9.5mi. Started to really up the effort level, moved ahead of that group, and closed in on Beaber (probably running a pretty even 5:35ish pace throughout). Caught Beabs right about mile 12 and passed one more guy. Was definitely pushing over the final 5k (5:30, 5:21, 5:13). From the results: 5km split of 17:55 (5:47/mi), 5k-10k split of 17:25 (5:37/mi), 10k-10mi split of 21:04 (5:33/mi), 10mi-finish split of 16:34 (5:20/mi).
