Notes
Ridge Run 2011 down around Chicago. Pretty much an out and back loop with mostly uphills and just one downhill. Went out smooth and let all the n00bs go out super hard. Janet, Kremer and I stayed in a group until the first mile (5:12) and then i really wasn't feeling tired so I just started building. Went from 10th ish to 3rd by the end of the race. Passed some sophmore from St. Ignasious who supposedly runs 9:20 for the 2 mile. Caught his ass and dropped him at the 2 mile. I was the only one who actually felt good today out of the group. Janet finished 5th and Jordan was 10th. Treated this as a tempo and glad that I felt really good through the whole thing. Pretty much ran the exact same time for each mile despite the 2nd mile being basically all uphill :) nice solid effort and a good confidence booster. I'm pretty confident that I would have been right next to 1st place had I raced it today. The guy in 2nd started to die and if there was another half mile i think i would have gotten him. Oh well, had a blast and didn't lose to any n00bs, good day
