Liberty Mile 2013

August 9, 2013 (Night)

Exercise Type: Run

Weather: 70 slightly warm

Comments:
Got to Pitt a little later than planned, about 45 minute prior to the gun, and had to use the bathroom and check-in, but once I had about 25ish minutes to warm up, my mind was in the right place. Went out in :65/2:11/3:18, so ~~:65/:66/:67, and was 6th in the lead pack of 6 that strung out into a line after 800. I was gassed seconds after the 1200 and closed (can't call it "closing") in :75ish.

Placed higher than last year, and was happy that I was in contact with lead up to 1200 meters as opposed to last year where there was a clear separation between leaders and chasers (I was a chaser) at about 800 meters. It might have been warmer than last year, but that doesn't matter much.

No cooldown because I was watching USA Masters Road Mile Champs, and the Women's/Men's elite races. And it was great seeing Alyssa!
