Notes
5:43-5:53-5:47-5:49-5:45-5:32-:71
Went out in a big group and had to move several times to cover gaps. The second mile was the slowest as we sorted ourselves and after that I spent until mile 4 getting up into the right chase pack. I led from about 4 to 5, then someone took it from me and slowed down. I took the lead back and just ran with it. Ultimately I did get walked down in the last 50 meters but that is OK.
This is unquestionably the finest road race performance that I have ever produced. Hopefully it bodes well for CIM but if not, if the season had to end here, I could be content. This goal has been 19 years in the making.
