Thought I'd licked my mental block. Apparently not. It reared its ugly head after mile two of the three mile tempo with my Dad and Dave. The pace had felt faster than I expected from the beginning. I let it get to me, and temporarily lost my reason for about 200 meters. By then, it was too late. I ended up with 16:56. Ouch. Hopefully, I've learned my lesson that if I have breath to whine, I can keep up the pace.

Race: Orem 6th ward 2 mile Fun. (2 Miles) 00:10:49, Place overall: 1, Place in age division: 1

Warmed up about 1 mile before the race. This is the first Church-sponsered race I've heard of.

By 600 meters, the last competitor besides me and my Dad (a kid named Logan) had been dropped. My Dad led the first quarter, I led the second. For splits, please refer to his blog. Then I betrayed him. I let him lead the next mile, when the plan had been for me to trade quarters. Fair racing tactics, I guess. Then I kicked with 800 to go. I ended up gapping my Dad by 6 seconds.

Logan took third. Then it went Joseph, Jenny, Jacob, and Julia (all between 14:30 and 14:55). Cooled down five miles.
