Notes
A well executed race. Didn't really know what to expect with the hills and 85% humidity, so I just focused on maintaining the pace of the leaders in early miles. After the big hill (around 4.5mi), the leader picked up the pace and I focused on keeping the distance between us <10yds. Around mile 8, I was feeling pretty good and worked to eliminate the gap. I pulled even with him around the 9mi marker and decided that I would surge going up the final hill and try lose him. It ended up working perfectly. Nice to have gas in the tank at the end of a race. I actually established a 40sec gap over the final mile. Good stuff.
