Up at 5:30, breakfast, cars left by 6:30ish, got to Lansing at 7:40, walked to camp, stretched some and then got a mile warmup in. Drills and strides before pump up and then the gun went off. My initial goal going into this was sub-30, but I realized that given the lack of shade, my comparatively low mileage, my recent knee/hamstring flare-up, and all, I was happy with anything under 30:30. Goal was to go out in 6:10ish, which I did to a T, but I failed to accelerate for miles 2-4, keeping 6:10-15, hitting 4 in 24:50. I tried to alternate sitting and picking by mile, with a last mile kick. Managed to do last mile-ish in 5:34, with almost nothing left in the tank. Still, had I been more aggressive in the first few miles, I could’ve gone sub-30. Will certainly get there in the next meet I run at! Most of all, happy that I was able to do this pain free. Cooled down 2ish and headed home ~11:30. Ran good!
