3rd place. Really crappy race. Starting walking to the starting line about 20 minutes before the race start unaware that the entire field had already left and I was going to have to weave through 15000 people to get to the front. After about 20 minutes of slow walking I finally got to the front right before the gun went off. No time to go to the bathroom or do any strides. Felt good the first mile nonetheless. 4:54 uphill sticking with Forys and the other kid. I was sure it would be a great race. Then they threw in a big surge on an uphill and I fell off. I tried to stay close until 2 miles (9:54) but soon found myself in no-man's land. They had pulled away and there was no one in sight behind me and I just packed it in and ran 5:20 pace for the final 1.5. I'm mad at myself for giving up and I won't let it happen at the President's Cup on Monday
