All things considered, great race. For this early in the season, this is a really great time, especially since I haven't done any distance/endurance stuff lately. We've pretty much only been doing speed, and I'm totally okay with running a 10:40 with speed alone. We started really fast, the first few splits were really encouraging, until I died on the last three laps. 72 at the first lap, 2:30 at the 800, 3:53 at 1200, 5:11 first mile. I didn't catch the rest of the splits, but each lap was just slower than the one before it. My legs felt fine the whole time, it was my lungs and heart holding me back, and those are usually pretty easy to get back in shape, once we start getting some mileage.

 

Oh yeah, then I ran the 300m hurdles mostly as a joke. 51.84. Third place.
