Race- Warmed up 1.5 miles with Andrew, Jake and Skylar. We went to the start line and did some stride outs. I was feeling really good about today but it didn't exactly show in my race. I was hoping for at least a top 40 finish, but I ended up in 63rd. I think that my problem was that I was worrying about the hills too much when I wasn't at a hill part so I tried to "conserve" my energy when I should have just gone. My first mile was pretty quick but so was everyone's. I stayed about the same placewise for the whole second mile (was passed by some guys but I passed about the same amount) On the last mile, I passed a good amount of guys but I still didn't get my goal placewise. PRd the course by 2:30 since last year so that's GREAT! Now I just need to improve the same amount of time for next year haha.
