Race: ATC All Comers Track Meet (1.864 Miles) 00:12:09

Easy Miles	Marathon Pace Miles	Threshold Miles	VO2 Max Miles	Total Distance
4.00	0.00	2.00	0.00	6.00

AM - 3 miles with Finn this morning before work.

PM - All-comers meet at GSU - 3000 meters 12:09. Have not run a race on a track since high school that I can remember - but was intrigued by Allie and Jame's blogs about these events that ATC organizes. Frankly was a little nervous that I would be the slow old guy.

My goal was to just run controlled at a pace I felt I was confident I could maintain - so 6:30 pace is what I thought was a reasonable pace and what I have been running in some workouts recently. Splits were decent 93, 97, 98, 91, 94, 97, 92 and 37. Finished strong enough to feel like I kept things in check.

Glad I got to meet Allie and James who both looked very solid in both the 1500 and 3000 races tonight.

you looked good the whole way -- and great finish with that 37 200m!

it was nice to meet you -- it's been a long time since i've met someone from FRB in person for the first time. that just doesn't happen anymore, and in GA, no less! i specifically wore my SLC singlet in hopes that i would be easier to identify. :)

glad you could come out, but bummer you won't make it to the last two. next year!

Thanks Allie. Actually the SLC singlet was exactly what I looked at for my clue/confirmation that it was you. Jame's Wasatch running singlet was also very helpful! :)

I really want to do the meet next Tuesday - we'll see if I can rearrange my other commitments. Maybe I will see you guys there.

Good to see the FRB is still bringing people together.
