87F and super humid.  Our very own imported ethiopian Hirbo Hirbo took it away with something like 28 low.  He said that he loves the heat and even so this was a full 2 min slow because of the heat.  It was hard.  I didn't really race all out, but I did go a bit harder than I would have liked for a tempo.  I just was running for place and number 3 was not too too far behind me and I wanted to discourage a kick.  Afterwards I ran the course as cooldown with hirbo hirbo and some other dude.  They almost dropped me going 7min pace in 90 degree weather on the COOLDOWN! lol.  Anyway, I am pretty happy with it given the heat.

2nd place, losing to an Ethiopian? On a hot/humid course? Nice job- sounds like a great day.
