Notes
race went well. very even splits. went faster than the anticipated 5:50 pace and it payed off. had a great race group with wes and maccoy. not to mention, this was some of the best MM weather i've ever had (not deathly humid that is). about mile 4 i really need to use the bathroom, but the fear of losing my pace group was too much.... i had some earth shaking bowel movements post race tho.
Ill be honest, this is not my best effort and i did not prepare properly. between catching up with friends before moving to Seattle, saying goodbye over drinks, and having my siblings in town.... i did not sleep (not an exaggeration) and i was sufficiently dehydrated). I'm happy with my time, but disappointed in my race prep, however, i wouldn't change what i did as i value those relationships over a B level race. It just makes me excited to see what i could do all out.
