A Perfect Day. We met across from Dunkin Doughnuts at about 6:45. Good drop off spot. Were at the start before 7. Had my energy shot at 7:30. Got in on the Utica Roadrunners pic. Saw Peter Kirui(1) and wished him luck! First mile with Tom was easy 6:20. Pulled away from Tom in the second mile. Hed that pace for first 3 miles. Mile 4 was slowest with the hill. Felt good until just before mile 6. Brych passed me on Sunset and I was starting to hurt but I held my pace well and re-passed him pretty quick. Coming down the hill on Champlin I had to regroup bc I was really hurting. Sun came out as I was turning onto Whitesboro. Still that's the best I have ever felt for the last mile. It went by faster than I ever remember. Not easy but def not torture like it usually is! And I still had a great kick for last .3. Passed a few people. 2 guys came up on me at the line and 1 of them got me. They got the best kick I had. Tom was right behind me in 58:08. Started screaming walking through the chute bc I felt so awesome!! Crushed my goal of 58:00. 170th place.
