Notes

Pretty solid race, didn't feel that well on the 30 min shake out, but started feeling good on the warm up. I new I was fit and I think visualizing the race helped. I did that for ten minutes tuesday and thursday, I think I am going to do that twice a week from now on.

Once the race started I was in pretty good position, went out right on pace, not fast or slow. Came through the mile right behind Kieser and a plat guy at 4:45. The plat guy was on Kiesers right shoulder in lane 2 the whole time, I wouldn't really let him in, kind of a bitch move, but I didn't really want to risk losing Kieser, he could have moved up or down, I just didn't want to give up my position. At about 1200 to go I think I passed kieser and the plat guy and pushed from there, I passed a few people couldn't tell if I was lapping or not, but either way neg split a little and had a acceptable kick.

It was really nice to almost hit my time from trials it has given me a lot of confidence back, I feel like I am getting back to the level I was at in high school, which has been a sore point for my last few seasons. This makes me really excited for the next time I run a 5k, low 15 for sure.
