Notes
Certainly not fresh for this race but feeling decent after many easy days. Still probably going to say I was "training through" this race to an extent. Windy day and in the fast heat, so I just tried to take it easy and draft, which was hard to do because everyone wanted to draft and my stride/pace wasn't quite smooth and easy. Mile = 5:05. Found a taller St. Olaf guy who was moving well and drafted off him for 3k or so, just barely holding on at times. With 2 laps to go, it was starting to get chaotic as we started passing a lot of guys who were falling off and I inadvertantly passed my passer, so I just went with it and had a decent finish.
15:53 isn't going to get me too excited, though it's not too far off my 5k debuts of junior and senior years (I'm getting sick of comparing myself to other years). We'll see what happens.
