The Bring Back The Mile campaign and the DC Roadrunners put on the DCRRC track championships. They had a 5:00 and under heat that was way too packed in my opinion.  They also had an elite heat for those under 4:20.

 I don't train for the mile.  I ran it for fun and it was ok.  It sucked at first because I was boxed in on a slow pace.  You can see me looking for a way out:

 I made a huge move on the outside during the second lap which probably dropped me into oxygen debt pretty good but I had to go.  Unfortunately it was too late to catch the leader.  I could feel the legs tensing up at the beginning of the last lap.

 

 on the final homestretch I was giving it everything and surprisingly a few team-mates (with much faster wheels) blew by me but my legs had nothing to respond with. I have a feeling innate speed is a genetic talent that can't really be changed.  

 

 even during this stretch one team member (whom I haven't met) blew by both of us!  If it were a 5K the results would be far more predictable...but all is fair in a single mile where weekly mileage matters far less then innate speed and short speedwork.

 In the end it was a great event and I had a great time.

5 easy.  Great day, low humidity.  Decided to run the Crystal City Twilight Sat. Perhaps a sub 16:00 is in me?

Well what can I say.  I felt good going into this race. Weather was perfect and I was ready to go.  I felt a little uncertain though. As soon as the gun went off the pack went out flying.  After 1:00 minute it began to poor.  It was some drenching, heavy-ass rain and by the first mile mark I was completely soaked.  Although this course is fast, there are three sharp turn-a-rounds and I had to slow down more than normal to prevent myself from falling due to the rain.

 There was a pack of like 30 dudes at the mile mark and I hit it in 5:02 in the pouring rain.  This was my first mistake....I tried my best to gut the rest of the race out but it just wasn't my day.  I came in at 16:31 and was not proud of that time in the least.  The local elites routed me and I didn't even finish top ten.

On to August base miles for Philly...
