Notes

Widener. This was alright, definitely not a bad race or effort, just would have liked to see a better result of course, but for the week after a 10k to be expected. My lower legs have been unusually tight all week, and having to run on an exceptionally hard track like Widener didn't help that cause. Conditions were pretty good, nice temp but windy on the backstretch. Until 3k was basically just sitting in the rear of a big pack containing our guys, a haverford (stadler), and some randoms. This was fine, although some bumping ensued and had to change paces more than I would have liked. Did a good job of getting through 3200 (9:40) feeling alright, but that last 1800 was tough once again. Last 1200 was 75.0/75.9/72 which effectively killed my PR chances. A nice step forward from Richmond, and hopefully I'll have the opportunity to go for a fast time later.
