First 8k ever. Plan was just to stay relaxed through the first 3 miles than try not to die too hard. Course was pretty tough, and due to the rain had a few muddy areas where you needed to watch your step. Part of the course had pavement which helped because I was wearing flats. Anyways, got out in 3rd to 4th behind a UVA and VT guys. Through the mile in 5:16. Race was kind of strung out but worked a good portion of the race with a guy from Duke. Through 2 miles in around 10:56 I think and 4 in 22:51. Felt like a I had a bit more in the tank, probably because I didn't really know when to kick due to unfamiliarity with course. Time isn't super fast, but I gathered it was a slow day for other people so I think I can go 26s by Princeton. Good experience.
