14th place at the Outdoor Classic 5k in 14:46. New pr. To be honest I was hoping to run in the 14:30s, but this race went pretty much perfectly, so I can't really complain. The weather was perfect, 50 degrees, clear, and not a lot of wind. I just went out in the back and tried to hang on. I'm not sure what any of my splits were. I know my 1600 split was 4:43, but other than that I didn't pay any attention to the clock. I think I basically just reeled off even 71s the whole time. Guys started to fall off in the 2nd half of the race, and I was able to pass a lot of people. With 400 to go I dug in and gave it everything I had. I closed in 65 and passed 5 guys, including 3 in the last 100. Even though the time wasn't quite as fast as I wanted, I'm proud of how I raced today. I fought hard and made myself hurt.
