AM: Ryan, Chris, Strrt, Sam, Garret, Big T, and I all raced the team race today because we won't be there next Wednesday when the rest of the team does it.
The first mile was 5:15, a little fast, but solid. The second mile was 5:32, and because I was being dumb at the time I let Ryan gap me a little bit, so I was going alone, which made it harder. The last .89 was really weird, and the time for that was 5:20. In the last .89 I almost totally went the wrong way but luckily Jamie was walking right there so she told me where to go, then I missed an extra little loop because I didn't see the arrows on the ground, thus it being .89, not a mile. Ryan also took a wrong turn, but a different one than I did, so his distance was a little weird as well.
I ended up finishing with way too much energy for it being a race. It felt more like I was finishing a tempo rather than a race. I'm sure when I'm running in the pack and there are actually people around me I will be able to pace it better and push myself a little more, but from a workout standpoint, today was good.
PM: 4.32 mile night run with the guys and Justus and Hank. Shout out to them for running with us!
