Wierd race today. Got out super good, and settled into my race pace. Decided beforehand that I'd get out quick to avoid the bottleneck of the first 100 meters, then I'd settle in. Went through the first mile feeling pretty good. Second mile I was going WAY too slow. Guess I was just so focused on staying relaxed that I wasn't paying attention to my speed. Started hammering the pace, and passed quite a few people too. Ethan came up on my shoulder right around 600 meters to go, and I knew there was no way I'd let him beat me. Finished really strong. Top 30 got shirts, and I was 31st :(. Oh well. Pretty good race nonetheless. I took off over a minute from my time here last year, and I get to go to Woodbridge!.
