Notes

Conference 5k today. The weather was extremly hot, humid, and just downright terrible for distance racing. I was a bit nervous because I know that I don't react to heat very well, especially after these really cold last few weeks. Went out in the top 6 and pretty much stayed there the whole time despite much yo[yoing because we went out in an 80. I kept getting unlucky with the water stations because whoever was in front of me would always take it and I would end up with nothing. Got cotton mouth with 800 meters in but spiros threw water at me every lap so that really helped. Got sticky after the 2 mile and just tried fighting Bowman. Johnny and goose passed me and fought bowman for a bit and I almost fell off. Luckily I pulled a kick out of my ass and passed bowman with 200 to go and recaught up to Goose, Johnny, and Phillips but just couldn't do anymore passing. Decent race, obviously times don't matter and I placed but I really want to have some decent weather to see what kind of shape im in. I gotta force myself be patient, it will come eventually. Al said I had a great part 3 and thats usually my worst part so all things considering it was a step in the right direction
