I got to the start and met up with Clyde and did a bit of a warmup with him and then Steve joined us. It was warmer today thank goodness. I saw all the fasties at the starting line and met a few that I havnt met in person before. I saw Rachel C. (my secret weapon) and could see she was a bit nervous but so are all of us secretly or not. I joked around with Craig Green when he asked me what my first mile was going to be. I said 4:50. But I actually wasn't far off I hit a 5 even and Rob was next to me when I got to mile 1 and I said woopsie! I had to much adrenaline going. I could see Steve ahead of me about 200 feet and I kept him at that distance to mile 4 where we have our first little uphill where we turn and see eveyone behind us. I was excited to see Clyde and cheered him on then I started seeing eveyone and I was cheering for them and when I looked in front of me Steve was right there. He later told me I psyched him out a bit by yelling at eveyone. I saw him surge after the uphill and just tried not go let him gap me too much. I passed Fritz at mile 8 on a downhill part and then immediately had my hip lock up on me. I kept pushing at tried not to think of the pain. I kept getting close to Steve then he would surge. I finally got to striking distance on the last hill stretch but as it went downhill he freaking came alive! I pushed as hard as I could but he held me off. It was great weather today. My ideal running conditions. It was my last race as a young 39 year old as I turn 40 on Monday. Maters here I come!
