Good race. I didn't get as much sleep the night before as I would've likes, but I felt good. The course is mainly flat, three laps around a 1 mile course. I went out too fast, hit a 5:25 first mile. This hurt a lot and I died off a bit for the second mile, which was a 5:40. I guess everyone else died more, though, because I was still passing way more people than passed me. I picked it back up the last mile and ran a 5:35. This race hurt a lot, I gave my all, and it felt horrible, but great at the same time. Top 6 got medals, top 30 got shirts, so I got my first a top finisher shirt from a big meet this weekend. Final time was 16:40, so 40 seconds faster than 17:18 on the same course last year. This season should be exciting. S/O to the TP in the porta-potties for being the exact same texture as my math homework. Next up is our home meet this Wednesday. We've never been beat at home, and we don't intend to break the tradition this year.
