Notes
Was really humid and even light rain for the first part of the race. Got a short warm-up in since came straight from Ella's swimming. Ran around parking lot a few times. Started off slow on purpose to keep leaders in sight. Caught all but leader by 2 miles. Ran a really good 2nd mile especially since it was rolling. Was with Chad until 2.5 where he pulled away. Kept working hard to ensure I maintained 3rd and guy behind me did not catch me but just didn't push hard enough to stay up with Chad. 16.37 for the course and conditions and moderate training the past several weeks represents a good effort. Warmed down about 3 miles. 5.17, 5.20, 5.26, 32 were splits.
