race day!
calf felt good soo.. decided to race.
quick race recap:
- race starts
- bunch of guys go out in front of me
- they are going fast, but i pull back to like 5:30 pace
- they all disappear, except for one guy
- this one guy is just gone.. he took off like a madman.. can barely see him
- i figure i'll see him soon..
- first mile.. dont see him
- 1.5 miles.. dont see him
- 2 miles.. see him slightly
- spent the entire 3rd mile closing on him
- 2.5 miles he sees my shadow from some weird lighting, which makes my shadow like 50 yards long .. he starts picking it up
- make the final turn into the convention center (which means the finish is soon).. say 2.9 miles
- i'm still behind this guy..
- finally catch up to him at exactly 3 miles
- turn on the after burners (4:4X min/mi pace) and get the W by ~10s
dude it was crazy.. his first mile had to be 5:0X. he went out like a nutcase, kind of like how i do sometimes.. he held on pretty good.
i've never seen him before so i was thinking he was just going to implode before a mile.. but he probably imploded at like 2-2.5 miles.. yet still kept it going.
was pretty crazy hah.
plan was to hit each mile under 5:40 but it was just way too hot/humid so, after i saw that first 5:41 mile split, i backed off.
i took photos with "the mayor" (or vice mayor i dno) and a bunch of other people afterwards lol. they all wanted to take photos with me. havent seen any of them anywhere.
