Well, definitely didn't do super well today... I was hoping to get in the low-mid 18:00's, but obviously that didn't happen. Started off at a good pace, a little under 90's, but after halfway or so they got up to more like 95's and I didn't really have much motivation to run any faster. So I didn't. Barely got lapped by the top two guys. Annoying. Felt kinda tired out. Already I feel unaccustomed to spikes, the calves are dead. (K 603.5) (M spike 92.8)

Way to go - Ruth-i-o! Sorry it wasn't as fast as you'd liked, but it's still pretty darn fast.

I agree with Burt. Still very impressive!!
