Mile warmup then 2 miles easy. Gun went off and I got out good into third place. Just kept grinding, ended up getting passed by Kauffman then outkicked by Adam Wood. Felt alright but it was definitely hard to get moving and the lactic acid hit me big time in the second lap. Don't have the speed yet and I need to work on my form and kick but this was a PR and my first time under 2. A mile after, 6:50, then a mile tempo, 5:27. Then 3X400 at 2 mile, mile, 800 pace, all with full recovery. Splits for those were 70, 65, 67. The effort was there on the last one, my legs just wouldn't move faster and I was going into a gnarly headwind. Half mile to finish up.
