1.5 mile shakeout run this morning
Raced at 9:52 at night. Pretty crazy race.
Everyone went out SUPER hard, so I got out the best I could. It was completley gridlocked for pretty much the entire first mile, so it was really hard trying to pass people. Went through the first mile at 4:54. Things started to thin out a bit, and I tried to start catching up to Bryson and Spencer, but everyone was racing really aggressivley, and weren't letting me pass them. Went through the 2 mile at 10:10-10:18. I didn't see my exact split. Was getting fed up with everyone at this point, so I started to get aggressive. By the time I hit the 800, I had passed at least 15 people. Ethat came up to me around here too and tried to pass me, but I surged pretty well and he fell off. Hit the last soccer field with about 600 to go, and I was feeling way to good, so I hit the jets. Passed like 10 more people there. Got a 15:28. It's an okay time, and a PR for me, but I was really hoping for something closer to sub-15. I'm sure i would've done better if I could've stayed with Bryson and Spencer for the first mile and cut through all of those people, but whatever. On the way back home, we got stuck in traffic until 3 in the morning, so that sucked. Crazy day.
