5.5 miles. 2.8 mile race. 20:45. Wow. Felt great. Warm-up was a bit tough. Cool weather after front passed through. Soft underfoot. Tried to keep it under control at start. Started moving through field. Interestingly breathing OK and feeling strong. Passed a guy who always beats me and decided to keep pushing until breathing became an issue. Easy on uphill and pushing on flat. Made an effort to stick to the flags and running with others quite a bit and then able to pass. Such a short distance knew had to keep going for it. So breathing a little bad towards end - but legs held up fine. Training, rest, eating and drinking right and who knows what else allowed 8 min mile pace for majority of race on hills and soft ground and bad footing. Wow. Very happy. Got 28th place. See how rest of race series goes. This was after training normally yesterday.
Went swimming after the presidential debates - whole body now wrecked.
