Notes
This was the first time this race was run, and it was just so-so in terms of organization, but the race went pretty well. Was not expecting much, coming off of mostly speed work with little base building lately, and ended up finishing with a PR for the year by 46 seconds.
Went out a little too fast, and died a bit late. Had to stop for water at one point at about 2.25 miles, and that cost me a bit of time. It was extremely humid though, and I just had to have some water, and couldn't really gulp it down without stopping for a second.
Course was a little hilly for Toledo, but would probably be considered flat anywhere else. Finished on a nice uphill dash.
Felt like I had put just about everything into it, without feeling like I was straining at any point, so I think this was a good race all around. Will work on my pacing a bit and up my miles to hopefully not trail off quite so hard next time around.
