we ran in the open race before the high schoolers with some alumni and runners from the area. we were told to run it as a tempo, first 2 miles at 90%, then the last mile racing. according to my Vo2 max chart, I was supposed to run 19:30. took the first mile easy and let a few of the faster guys go. settled in behind ben and martin and coasted for the first mile in 5:45. we all realized this was a tad too fast and slowed down. ben fell back and martin pushed forward, so i followed him. by the 2 mile mark we caught kevin at 11:40. after the mark, martin picked it up and lost his shoe in the mud, i stuck behind kevin and we passed 2 open runners and i outkicked kevin. finished 4th overall, 4th on the team, and felt like i could have gone much faster.
