We actually got to the meet with some time today so Dakota and I ran a good chunk of the course for warm-up. Then we stretched and whatnot and we weren't too rushed. That made me happy but my legs were feeling kinda tired. Anyway the first mile didn't feel really fast but we went out in 5:17. That's ridiculous but I really wasn't too tired. I was in 2nd most of the race as Zakaria slowly but surely pulled away. Then at about the 2 mile I started to feel pretty tired. Coming down one of the hills connecting the two sections of the park Ben Killian yelled out which way for me to go so I knew he must of had a lot more energy than me because I could only muster a thumbs up. Of course, coming up the last hill he passed me. I tried to pick it up a little though and I managed to stay pretty close to him for the finish. My time was 17:47, a huge pr but it is a really fast, 2/3s road course so it's not all that amazing. Still I can't complain. Afterword we cooled down by running most of the course.
