Notes
A return to the race that started it all! I knew I was going to crush last years time, but I had a goal set out to do it sub 1:45:00. Unfortunately, this just didn't happen. I lined up behind the 7:50 pacers, but that proved to be a fatal mistake. At the beginning of the race, they started hitting 7:30's and below-- I thought something was wrong with my watch and just decided to trust them! Bad move. They were indeed pacing too fast, and it gassed me WAY too early. Not only that, but the Miami sun came up soon thereafter and beat me to DEATH. After training the frigid winters of South Central PA, things just weren't jiving like they should be.
Regardless, even though I didn't hit my sub 1:45:00, I came in close enough given the conditions, and I'm still super proud of the progress I made over the course of the past year. Thanks so much Coach Thomas!!
