Notes
So people are putting this as 3.05 I guess? Listed as 3, certainly shorter than a 5k.
Dual meet w/ Hamilton College @ Spac. Ran the 5k course. Plan was to find Paul & Jarrett after the first mile and stick with them through two. Didn't get any mile splits anywhere or anything, first mile felt pretty quick. The two big downhills sucked, horrible footing and I felt like I was really applying the brakes just to not fall down. Close to the back until about the first mile, then made a move up to Jarrett. Lost some ground to him crossing the bridge before the second hill and never made it up. Did a pretty good job of cresting the hill and trying to kick in the last mile, but I wish that I had finished at least up with the group in front of me.
Soo, getting better. Still not where I want to be, not nearly as fast as I had hoped no matter how you slice it, but also definitely a PR for what it's worth. (~ a minute faster than Brown). Outside shot (way outside, maybe a half-court short) at getting top 3 next weekend and making it to Paul Short. Goal is still to run well over 8k next time around at SPAC and try and make the team to states.
