Notes
Mizzou Open 5k, 15:24.59 for 1st place
Got the win, but really shitty race overall. Got out well behind a Mizzou pacer who was planning to run 73 second laps. Chilled behind him and a few other guys in 4th for the first 800m then decided to move to the front and try to go well under 15 solo, which I thought I'd be able to do. Hit 1k in 3:00 then 2k in 5:59.
My 6th lap was a 73, though and I could tell things were about to get hard. Decided to chill for a lap and let the Mizzou guy catch up and just chill with him. Well when he caught me I couldn't hang. Got dropped and was probably 30 meters down on him most of the race. My legs really didnt hurt, they just couldn't go any faster.
With 800 to go he started coming back to me and I retook the lead with 500 to go and was able to coast it in.
Not a good time at all, I went in thinking I could PR. But I just don't feel comfortable on tracks. I have soloed two sub-15 5k's on the roads, but I just cant do that on the track. For whatever reason I don't feel like I can go to the well on the track like I can on the roads. Idk, its weird. Got a good 5k workout in I guess, on to the next one
