Comments 4 mile warm-up including strides before the start. This was NJ championships with some good prize money. All the local clubs in NJ and philadelphia showed up making for an extremely fast field. I decided just to find a comfortable group to latch on to, given my difficult week of all-nighters and work in the studio with little rest. Hit the mile in 5 flat, not feeling particularly good at all, some stomach issues and stride felt forced. Slowed down on mile 2 in 5:16, 250m uphill leading to 2 mile mark. Wind was brutal from 1.5-2.5. at this point I caught 3 guys falling off of the lead pack and decided to at least race the last mile despite my dying motivation with 2nd 5:16 mile. the finish was nice long straight away about 9 00m out. I saw the line and tried to roll in, moving a little too early passing 3 out of 4 guys, closing my last mile in 5:06. Happy to be under 16 despite not feeling well at all. recovered in minutes and ran 6+ miles cool down on the neighboring trails. Fitness feels good, time to get some speed.
