Notes
Today's race was good, it was very packed, so the first mile took some time to be able to run at a comfortable pace, and the next mile went well. It was a bit hot, but I didn't want to drink (I had a bit of cramping in my stomach and I had been a bit off all day). By mile 3, the heat had started to get to me, but a volunteer shouted out that we were on a 30 minute mile pace, so I pushed through the stomach issues. When I rounded the corner and saw the clock was at 29:35, I pushed to the end of the race abd entered the chute at 29:56. I think I heard my chip click off at about 30:00, but I will see what it was when the official results are posted.
My splits were as follows:
Mile 1: 9:42/mi
Mile 2: 9:42/mi
Mile 3: 9:26/mi
Last .1: 8:52/mi
