STEEPLECHASE
Cap District Classic steeple w/ Aldous Mike and Bobby. Goal was to break 10, after last week's race where I went out hard and blew up I wanted to go out in 3:20 or a little slower even and then feel strong over the second half. Didn't break 10 but was pretty happy with my race. A little confused at what the splits/ pace was, we came through 200+ and the clock said 43! But then at 400 we were told 76 or something. Same thing next lap, clock read over 2 minutes but at 800 we were told another 70 something. At 1k it seemed everything was synced up, clock was at ~3:15. From where I thought I ran pretty well, felt good and went with Bobby and didn't let the guys ahead of us gain too much ground. With 800 to go I needed 2:38 to break 10, at that point I fell off Bobby; rough last two laps I guess, must have been like 2:44. Was really comfortable going over the barriers today, wasn't disrupting my rhythm too much (even went over good with my right foot) and did the water barriers fine. Definitely will PR again next week, hopefully will be able to get dragged along for a bit and then pick off some guys and pick up a fast time and a good place.
