Fun day today even though I was completely destroyed from the past week. Warmed up just under a mile and a half and did a few strides. Race started and Seth, Justin, Craik, Kaleb, Lil' Warner, Josh and I broke from the pack pretty quick. Then Seth started going ahead so I went with him. We hit the mile at 5:04. After this he was a little tired so he slowed a tiny bit so I tried to surge and get a gap on him but he responded and then he tried to do it on me but I responded as well. We came through at 10:08 for 2 miles and then we hit cemetery hill and I died. lol. I was football shuffling up it (probably even slower then that) because ever since the first day of camp when we ran up the 2300 elevation gain my legs haven't been able to handle up hill well. Seth pulled away by like 75 meters. I finally made it up the hill and went on the chase. I cruised down and was chasing him all the way back. Mile 3 was a 5:13 so that put me at 15:21. Then we kicked it in and I had chased down seth to like 5 meters but he got me so shout out to him! Last part was 4:40 pace in 31 seconds. Felt exhausted from camp but felt strong during the race so I'm excited for when I am well rested! Cooled down, got to stand on the podium, then went with Galen and Lil' Warner on 5 mile loop with a few little cuts. So got 70 miles on the week.
