Time: 60:00
Distance: 9 mi.
Goal: win, have fun, go after the course record (19:34) if close.
Race: won, had fun, missed the course record by one second because I misread the clock.
The Start
The Finish
Mile splits were something like 4:53, 4:55 (9:48), 4:56 (14:44), 4:50 (19:34). Had Tom on my shoulder through the first mile, but had to drop him. Apparently I demoralized him so much that he got out-kicked by his brother at the end. Wilson Perez, running for the BAA, was shadowing me thorough about 2 miles but I put on a good gap in the 3rd mile (which was somewhat hilly). I knew that I could be close to the course record (19:34) but wasn't killing it in the last mile... with about 150 meters to go I misread the finish line clock as 19:33 rather than 19:23 and eased up. Luckily that didn't affect the take. Stomach didn't feel great, but not too surprising because we were out last night. Coste ran 23:32 and Nora ran 25:36.
