Ok race and an ok effort. I raced it well, for me to run a good longer distance race I have to start out slower, that's what I did. I let the race carry me until a couple hundred meters before the first mile ended, then I started picking people off, going through groups. I caught up to Davis group, he was at the front, and it was just a long line. I passed them slowly, these guys were just trying to maintain their position so they made it a little harder to pass them, especially these two kids from the same team who worked together to get in my way, but I got through them, I was working my way to the top of the group but there wasn't enough time and I wasn't pushing hard enough. My kick was only there to keep my position. Well I caught Westlake number two guy with my kick and put him away but the next guy, American fork guy was too far ahead, he really wasn't, I just told myself he was. I could have caught him if I pushed myself. I know I could have. I will blog Saturdays run later, maybe not until tomorrow. We took somewhere in the top 10.
