Notes

Didn't feel great in this one, not surprising given it was my first true race in nearly 3 months and I was training through it. Still, slowest Eager Beaver I've done yet I believe.

Mile 1: 5:19 I think, mostly tracking a high schooler before running side by side with Rick Pahl and Drew. Didn't feel bad but it sure seemed like a mile was a long way.

Mile 2: 5:13, Drew and Rick started battling. At the start of this mile, my legs were itching to go faster, but by the end... I was feeling destroyed. Of course, my legs felt heavy, but it was odd to feel so weak in my arms. Probably because I'd been in the gym this week.

Mile 3: 5:20, Drew pulled away from Rick and Rick pulled away from me. Maybe the high schooler gained on me but was never a threat. I just suffered for a mile and surprisingly didn't slow down that much.

Last .1, doesn't exist.

I'm going to leave this note as is and not try to react to the race much. Another 5k trial race next week and then I'll get rested for All-American to get a good feel for where I'm at.
