Notes
Fun race this morning! A few random slow people forced there way to the very front so I ended up having to push past them at the start but besides that I had no problems compared to last year. Got out really hard cause I Knew Phil was still pretty fit and didn't want this to be a kickers race. Ended up breaking away from the start and went through the first mile in 4:35. It sucked but I still felt like I was staying strong. Janet and Phil were about 10 seconds behind me at this point and they pretty much stayed that distance for the rest of the race. The last 800 hurt pretty bad cuase it has a bunch of rolling uphills but I forced myself to keep pushing and beat the feeling. Ended up having a decent kick too despite being by myself and came across the line in 15:32, 50 seconds faster than last year and 20 seconds faster than the year I beat Daleen. Really happy with this effort! Janet ended up kicking Rizzo down to get second and he Pr'd by 45 seconds as well, and Kachlik was about 40 seconds faster too! We mapped out the course afterwards at either 3.18 or 3.2 so it was definitely longer than a 5k. Feeling very strong physically but even moreso mentally, I'm done racing scared
