Comments:
6:15pm; 2.25 WU around Isham
4 mile race in 20:20*, splits - 4:56, 5:05**, 5:09, 5:09.
2 mi CD, partly running with my 10 year old niece finishing up her 4miler, partly w/ Nick Burton.

wasn't feeling too good going in to the race, and it was warm out, too. Went out with the lead pack which became 6 of us at a mile in. That's when the lead cop car took us the wrong way in the 2nd mile, so my 2nd mile split actually was 4:35** and my overall official chip time was 19:50*. Obviously, those were wrong; I figured we cut off about 30 seconds from the course. So after 2 miles it was just Kyle Miller of Buckeye High School and Ohio University, and at 3 miles he broke away from me for the win. Got passed with 400 to go by an older guy but he had no kick, so I was happy to take 2nd.

Even though it would have been nice to get an actual time by running the actual 4 mile course, I'm still pleased. One step closer but still a couple thousand miles away from the ultimate goal.
