Exercise Type: Run

Weather: sunny, bright

Comments:
Sun was really bright and hurt my eyes a lot, same thing happened that did in Mercersburg. My race could have been a lot faster, but I got stuck in a massive group of people that was going very slow for about 400 meters (seemed like 9:00 pace or slower). Sped up afterwards, but still lost 30 seconds or more. The old course was open for long enough so that the pack split apart, but this year it was a funnel instead. Second mile was definitely slower than first, but I don't remember the majority of the second half of the race. I do know that I was passed by about 30-40 people in the second mile though. In last 400 I started a sprint that was about 150 meters long, and passed 23 people. Then I slowed back down to the normal pace, but kept everyone behind me. Near end I sprinted again and passed another 10-20 people. Although the race itself wasn't too good, the end was. Actually felt competitive, which turned out to be very fun.
