Notes
USATFNE Track Championship. They had 2 heats and I got put on the back of the bus of the first heat. We had 20 in heat. Race started about 10:30ish after Womens's 5k and was getting warm out. I found about a few other guys looking at 17:30 and we stayed together for about 6-7 laps, but I really started to slow after that and my legs really were getting rubbery. only looked at a few splits near end and saw 90 something said oops just gotta grind this in. My mind switch to let's just step off and DNF since I was in last and got lapped, but through that out and kept pushing. Still though 17:30ish was in cards but then another 90ish lap. O.K. let's just run a sub 3:00 800 here and make it respectable. Then saw a guy ahead and just worked to catch him. Did not catch him but got close and overall pretty happy with the effort. Best thing was the winner stayed and shook everyone's hand after we crossed the finish line. One of the classiest thing I have seen, because he waited over 3 mins for me!!
Count me in for next Track 5k I can find!!
