Notes
Indy mini 2013. Actually my slowest mini yet. Weather wasn't horrible a little warm, not as bad as last year. Last year I started under 7 and blew up so this year I went out conservative, high 7:50 first mile (couldnt get satelites until after the start of the race). Then came down to 7:20's but pace crept up to 30's and 40's in the middle of the race. Had bad shin splints for first 6 miles so maybe that was it. came back to the 30's once I got into the brickyard mile and the one after, then I just put my head down and said, time to finish, so I pushed down into low 7's for the last 3 miles. Passed TJ in mile 11 he said but never saw him. Last 1.1 I was hurting. Not sure why I was slow this year (was only 8 seconds faster than I ran OaK Barrel 4 weeks ago). Trained pretty hard and the hip issue I'd been having wasn't really a problem. Legs were just heavy for some reason. Still a great trip. Lots of great food and other than the highway incidient on the way home had a great time.
