Notes
Team Champs 5-mile... 74* with 79% humidity, felt quite hot... decided to listen to Jon Kline's advice and run by feel, not sure how well that worked out... final time of 29:23 for 8th on the Whippets and 104th overall... Strava splits of 5:49/5:53/5:54/6:03/5:35... not sure how much I believe these because the last mile seems just way too fast... tried to go out faster than at Pride Run, at which I was successful... then started passing people behind Eric, working our way through the field... started feeling pretty terrible after 2 miles, at which point I actually thought about dropping out... instead just tried to maintain my pace, catching people here and there... somehow I began to feel OK in the fourth mile, passing a large group consisting of Eric, Matt Maline and a few others just after the turn onto East Drive... passed Jon Kline around 4.5, then help until the starting line/"fake" finish line with 200 to go, where Fred came up onto my shoulder so I just kicked to the finish, putting several seconds on him... no idea what my real fitness level is like since these conditions are having a huge impact on my results
