Weather was great. Low 40s at the start but the sun was out at 9:00 and it felt a bit warmer. I did not prepare as well as I should have for this race. Not enough workouts or weekly mileage. My goal was less than 40 minute but after my last tempo run I knew it would be hard to sustain less than a 6:30 pie. I started out with a girl and a guy but they soon sped up and got out 10 seconds ahead of me. Just before the second mile the girl was leading and missed a turn in the course. It looked like she went for a tenth of a mile or so before someone caught her. It's too bad because she would have gotten a pretty good time. After the turn around point I got some water and stayed a few seconds behind the leader. At mile four I wasn't paying a ton of attention to the leader but he was all of a sudden right in front of me. I passed him and then was by myself for the rest of the race. It turns out he started feeling nauseous. The last mile felt tough and I thought I was going much slower than my actual time.

Obviously, the competition wasn't very strong (maybe 60 people total) but it was fun to be out in front even if it was mostly luck.
