Gotta love the small town races. You never know who could show up to make it a good race. Today I was lucky in that no one faster than me decided to run this race, that is the only reason I won. Not bragging, but it is kinda fun to lead a race from start to finish.
My pacing still leaves a lot to be desired. 5:24/5:47/6:02/:39. But my goal with this race was to bring down my first mile split to where I want it to be (5:20) and then try to sustain that as long as possible. Went well on the first part, not so much on the latter. A rolling hills course and unforgiving heat and humidity did not help me out at all.
