August 29, 2008 (Morning)

Exercise Type: Run

Weather: 80, sunny, humid

Comments:
25 minute warmup, 6k(6.2K?) race in 22:32, 18 minute cooldown. I went out in 5:25 with Houser/Rob/Pat right where I wanted to be. The second mile they put a little ground on me and I hit 2 miles in 11:05. The third mile was an abomination, I think I heard my 3 mile split was 17:24, meaning I ran about 6:20 for my third mile. I completely lost focus and didn't feel like I was racing. At this point Dan and Will had maybe 10-15 seconds on me and MacColl had about 20 seconds on me. I started to reel them on the hill on the way back. I didn't even make a conscious effort to do it, it hurt, but it just kind of happened. I caught MacColl with 200 to go but was done. It was my first cross race in 3 years... better things to come.
