Notes

15:42.44, 8 second PR. Great weather, low wind.

Went out way too fast, came through the mile in 4:54. Was shooting for 5:00. Was scared that first mile would kill me for the rest of the race. Went out with Alex, just kept pushing. Phil made a move at the mile. Started to die near lap 7. Had to just hold on. Stayed focused, came through two mile in 10:01, still good on pace. Last mile was really rough, had to just keep pushing. Dereck and Patrick and Kent passed me with about 1000 to go. Hung on to Kent, wasn't gonna let him get away from me. Dave passed me with about 300 to go. I needed all these guys to pass me for me to run fast. With 200 to go I had a sick kick, closed in 30.9 and passed every one of those guys and got pretty close to Alex, by far my best kick in ages. If I race it smarter can go sub 15:30 for sure at Conference.
