Not quite sure of the time yet.

Given 16 accidental miles yesterday, I was a little concerned. I also experienced some hearing loss during the warmup which made me concerned about blood pressure. I decided to run conservatively and ease into it. I let the big pack go at the beginning and started out with Steve Ashbaker, Rob, Taha, Kassi and Sariah. My stride felt smooth and strong but at the same time we weren't running very fast. Only managed about 6:06 for the first mile which is downhill. I was leading a really big pack and everyone else was content to line up behind me for the most part, but I didn't mind as there was basically no wind.

Ran 5:58 for both 2 and 3 and even took a sip of gatorade at 5k (18:42). In the 4th mile I started to hurt a little, but I picked it up to 5:52 which still didn't feel very fast. As usual I had a tough time with the turnaround and couldn't get my legs going again. Mile 5 was 6:00, but I had no gapped everyone behind me and was closing in on Steve. I really pushed the 6th mile to catch and pass him (5:52). Reached 10k in 37:10 but now I had no one to chase as I could barely see the next person ahead. 5:56 for the 7th mile, but then I faded to 6:05 and 6:04 for the last 2. 1:49 for the last little bit.

Overall, an ok time given that I ran so much yesterday. I'm only 3 minutes off my best time on this course, which doesn't seem like it's all that much. I think I just need to get used to running sub 6 minute miles again.
