Weather: Little Less Humid Than Yesterday

Comments:
Gotta a good breakfast in, got most of shits in, so in theory, should have been a good race. Felt OK on the warmup, def felt worse, def felt better before. Not really positive on the length of the warmup combined with my strides just did a conservative guess. Anyways, really nervous abnout the race since I was out for 3 weeks but just said fuck it. Went out in the back of the pack, only about 30-40 people behind me then we hit the cornfield and I found leo and Jordan and linked up. Took Leo out within a half mile then leapfrogged with Jordan til the 2 mile. We picked off kyle about 1.4 miles in then just after the 2 mile mark we catch up to Frank and Erik. I knew it was now or never; upped my turnover and ran on my toes, knocked Jorsan out, then Frank then eventually erik on the back stretch of the cornfield. Was in disbelief. Just chased this kid who was in front of me but couldnt get him, had no idea I was running sub 18 pace, 16th place muhfucka. Todays time just solidified my ideas that had nothing happened over the summer, would have ran 16:40 today and consistent 17 flat range elsewhere. Ah well, still pr'd with not much training, best I can ask for I guess. Very strong race mentally honestly, felt smooth for the most part.
5:35, 11:34 (I think) then 17:50 finish. Same first mile time as last year, 5 seconds slower on the 2 mile split then last year and 22 seconds faster on the overall time.
