Ran 4 miles throughout the hours before the race, and got on the starting line. Gun went off. I decided to take today easy because of Bob Firman being on saturday. Hit a 5:21 first mile. After that, I tripped and it sort of threw me off. It didn't even feel like a race, it just felt like a tempo run. Which is why I was shocked to find I dropped a PR of 16:39! Crazy. Now I just gotta drop a sub 16:30 on saturday. Mason won the race with a 15:46, And Christian managed to barely beat Aaron with a 16:22 to his 16:23. I need to work on my kick. With a 400m left, the two of them were just maybe three seconds ahead of me.
