9.5 miles. 3 by 150 with the wind at my back in 23, 21, 21. 

Rest of 2 minutes and 90 seconds on the short stuff. Track workout: 2K, 800, 600, 400, 300, 200, 200 in 6:09, 2:13, 1:36, 63, 43, 28, 28

Wasn't supposed to go this far but I hear too late. It's fine. Also I really tried to avoid going fast but did 6:39 pace. I guess that's a good thing maybe?

Did a pre meet in the morning with strides.

There you have it. The end of an era has come, as that was my last collegiate race. Although it didn't go as well as I wanted, I didn't feel too dissapointed afterward because I was thinking of my college career as a whole, which never should have happened at all. So its hard to feel too ungrateful from that perspective. I'm sure I'll have more thoughts later. It's still all sinking in.

The race didn't dilly dally too much. I was near dead last at the mile in 4:41. Really just trying to conserve energy and not run into the wind, and I thought I mostly did a good job sliding up only when someone would let a gap start forming. Here is a pet peeve I have: A) when you are immediately behind someone and someone behind you tries to pass you and insert themselves there. Why?? B) when someone lets a gap form, you pass them, and then they try to close the gap to cut you off. Both actions hurt both people. Oh well. 9:23 at 2 miles I think. 14:43 at 5K, though I had already started slowing and was more in survival mode than feeling agressive. Continued to slow, punctuated by three 76s near the end. Hard to believe I was running over 5 minute pace. Then a 72 and 65 to close. Wish I could have caught a few more people. Definitely a good home crowd there though. 

Felt really trashy at first, better later. Really nice run though around the Diaganol. 6:51 pace.
