Notes
Very happy with this race; came in 2nd overall and pushed hard but didn't even go all out; wasn't even planning on running it since Mrs. Mullane told me not to do anymore races outside of track races but I did it anyway, hopefully she won't find out that I even did it; knew from the very beginning that I was going to be second since the first place guy started off really fast and pretty much kept that pace and O'Leary was the only one close to me through the first mile which I knew I would beat; around 6 miles in I thought I had slowed down considering I didn't want to completely trash my legs like I did at Tom King but didn't actually slow down that much; solid race besides when poop seeped out of my butt with two miles left which was nasty trying to clean up afterwards; very well organized race and I have nothing but good things to say about the race organization and directing; got a nice framed certificate for being 2nd overall and was able to donate the 100 dollars that I won back to the Special Kids Organization since I wasn't allowed to accept it according to TSSAA rules; very pleasant morning for a run and I'm very glad we ended up deciding to do it and not worry about Mrs. Mullane possibly being super mad at me for running it; I am definitely a distance guy but I don't know how I am only able to muster a 5:15 in the 1600; hopefully I can improve my relatively garbage track times now...
