One of the most unevenbtful pacing jobs I've had. I didn't have anybody run with me for the entire race. Makes me wonder if it really even happened. My first mile was a liitel fast. That gave me a 15 second cushion that I held for most of the race. The 7th mile contains the "sprintosaurus" which is a special award for the fastest half mile. Since I wasn't running with anybody I decided to push the pace. DIdn't go all out but it was close. Ran the half mile in 2:30. At the end of this stretch, I stopped and waited 90 seconds to get back on track. From here to the end I was within a couple of seconds of where I was supposesd to be at every mile marker. Ran the last mile a little faster so I would have a bufferr in case the course didn't measure correctly.
