Really fun time, warmed up 2 miles then did some strides, grabbed a piece of gum and got ready to race.

Race started off fast, I always blow up if I start too fast so I started near the back. I moved up after 800, and kept moving up through the first 4k til I was on the back of the front pack. This is where my first mistake was, the front 3rd of the pack broke off, and dropped the back 2/3rds Then a few seconds later this back pack split into two groups. I didn't recognize either of these splits and got stuck with the back of both split offs. I surged up where one of the NAU guys was dropping of the 2nd pack and ran with him the next 4k picking off people. Around 3k to go we dropped a few SUU guys, and I saw two more NAU guys. I tried to drop the NAU guy with me but he kept matching my surges, then putting in a surge, and we just kept alternating til we caught the other two NAU guys that were like 50 meters and 75 meters in front. Then us 4 all ran together til the finish where two of them out kicked me, I out kicked one of them and an SUU guy who was falling back. 

Super happy with the race, a great starting point for me, hungry for more. 

Plan for the future is just working on closing the gap between the front guys and me.

Awesome race report. You can definitely find the motivation and training to be a top guy, you're in a great culture on a great team.

Can I ask how many "surges" you think you have in an 8K race?

at least 10 trying to get up to the other NAU guys that were up infront of us, then about 3 more before the final kick
