Notes
Tamms 8 miler: Went out in front; goal for race was to average low-6 pace; Lester and Waddel did not follow. First mile in 6:08. Hill climbing began around 2 mile mark and incline progressed until final steep hill crested at 3.75 mile mark. Last half mile of the climb was a struggle.
5k split = 19:10. 4 mile split in 24:58. 5 mile split = 31.00. Last 3 miles run in 18:07. 4 mile splits = 24:58/24:09.
First overall and set course record by 2 seconds. Practice of "pushing" last 5k during long runs seems to be working. Hoping to be able to do this at the HM in 2 weeks and finish strong.
