Notes
Bix 7, 39th place, 36:46 official time, 5:15 pace.
Fourth straight year of running the bix, 4th straight PR. It seems like every summer I'm in awful shape and racing like crap then once the Bix rolls around I snap into shape out of no where and end up running pretty well.
Will and I were out well up Brady hill, got rolling once we made the turn and ran a sub 5 second mile which felt hard but not out of control. When we came up on the big uphill right before the turn I tried to bring it back a bit to make sure I wasn't straining too hard. Will gapped me a bit but I was right back on him shortly after the turn. 18:14 at 3.5 miles which was probably a little too fast, but I was able to run strong miles 4-6 back up the hill and roll the last mile to get a shiny new 21 second PR.
My last 3 races: 5:34 pace for an 8k on July 4, 5:25 pace for a 10k on July 14, and 5:15 pace for a 7 miler on July 28. We're going somewhere and hopefully the next stop is a sub-67 half at park to park in September
