Notes
another perfect day to race, and a great race indeed
Hoping to go 15:4ish, which would be a 10 second drop from this meet last year. Me Gatlin and Dereck all raced it together in a single file line, with a pack of 4 NCC guys, then Gatlin, then me, then Dereck. Came through mile, felt good, two felt good, passed Gatlin right at the 2 mile and then he passed me back, had to dial in mentally focused pretty hard for a few laps and almost slipped away but I kept fighting. Thought the NCC guys were gonna break away but we were able to duke it out with them the whole time, and I was able to outback one of them at the end! A very encouraging race to only be 6 seconds away from my PR this early in the season.
