Notes
So before I begin breaking this bad boy down, Thanks Muneeb and Quinn for congratulating me. In summation, this race was pretty average. The incredible atmosphere and setting in the beautiful Grant park only manage to elevate this race above complete mediocrity. My time was not at where I would have wanted it to be but I attribute that to an awefully slow first half and failure to sufficiently pick it up afterwards. Right off the bat I had originally entered myself in a slower corale than should have been and even after the race was underway I just was not racing fast enough. Once i saw the 5k mark I had only felt like we were on out first mile. The time itself clocked in at an attrocious 19:54. So from here i tried to pick up the pace but it was too little too late. By the time the finish rolled into view I had far too much energy.
Quality 7/10
Pros: While this race was a sham, I know that come the regular season I will take races out at a better pace and have people more my speed to go with.
Cons: Everything aforementioned, Felt way too good at the end
Effort 7/10
