Won my 2nd straight Conrad race today. My goal this year was the same as last year--to break the course record and win 50 bux. It's such a challenging course. 5:25, 5:54, and 6:50 for the final 1.1. I asked the race director after the race why the course was so tough, he said the last 1.1 is a 2 to 3 degree incline based on an old railroad incline. So its deceptive because its not a huge hill to the eye, but it slowly breaks you down. Splits were not too reliable, and overall time was 18:13. The only thing I really took from this race, besides the win, was the strategy that played out as I raced the 2nd place guy. He led the first mile, i surged at the marker and led the 2nd mile, he hung on and took back over in the 3rd mile, but i stayed on his tail. I was waiting until 600-400 meters to make my final move, but about 800 to go, he simply stopped. I dunno if he just gave up or my strategy of baiting him just broke him, but it was nice to win a tactical battle like that--although it was discouraging to not have anyone to push me through the final half mile, would have made for a much better time.

| I don't usually denote a course being long but today was at least .05 long if not a full .1. Put up a good battle with a high school standout but still led wire to wire to win the race. first mile was slow in 5:37, 2nd was 5:58, threw in a surge at the third mile which dropped my competitor for good and hit 5:50, closed total in 18:05..once again, not a great time but i did enough to win and i do believe the course was a tad long. I also did not feel up to par today, just felt sluggish and couldn't really find that next gear. on the bright side, i was awarded $50 for my efforts, which is always nice. I also feel good about being able to negative split the last mile. |

| Ran the clive race today. i've run this race in 2008 and 2010 and ran really well both times, but they completely moved the race to a different location and thus a different course. I know ive complained about courses lately, but this one was the worst. It was probably close on actual distance, but it was hillier than hilly. I don't do hills well haha! first mile was 5:34, 2nd was 6:05 and last 1.1 was 6:50 or something. I dunno, i did not enjoy this race and just felt tired the whole time. 70 degrees with 95% humidity also hampered efforts as the winner only ran 17:05 and 2nd and third were 18 and 18:02 respectively. Slow times all around, mine included. |

| 3 as the taper continues, 21:33, 7:11 pace, first two miles were within .05 of each other, 7:13.43 and 7:13.48, kind of a cool nuance. |
