Notes
Alumni Meet. Iselin was the stand out but I hoped to stay with the other 2 alumni. I had felt uneasy before the race though. We all started together in a comfortable pace but unfortunately it was a quite slow 40 second lap. The next was a little faster but I let the leaders go on the 3rd lap when they picked it up to a 36. I was concerned about not finishing and I wasn't trusting my stomach.
I was alone but knocking off consistent high-38, low-39 laps. 5:12 for the mile. I was feeling strong enough and started picking it up with 4 laps to go. That was short-lived though as I quickly felt upheaval in my stomach and backed off to some 40's to finish the last 3 laps.
This time wasn't as far out as I first assumed. It isn't my slowest 3k but many of the others in the time range were doubles after the 2k steeple. It's also about the exact time I ran the winter after my broken foot 10 years ago. It's just hard to identify with when I feel I could have been 30 sec faster.
