Evening Run

Felt ok on my Warm up today and had a 2nd surge gel 15 min before the race. They had an elite race at 7am and then everyone else at 7:30am which was great on an out and back. The course was great, a good improvement from the old course. It was a wide 4 lane flat road with a wide U-turn turn around starting and finishing in the same spot.

With Ethan and the Kenyan (Benson Cheruiyot) guy Cobi invited I was hoping to come in 3rd and hopefully stay close to those guys.

When the race started I went out and after a quarter mile Ethan and Benson were pulling away and I led the next small group of 3 or 4 of us. I didnt know my paced and ended up Settling at a 5:16 pace after a .75 till the turn around at 1.55 miles. As we approached the turn around one guy accelerated past me and the other also tried but i went with them.  The first guy opened a small gap of a couple seconds on me but i made sure to keep it close. We went from about 4:35 pace to 5:00 pace over the next 2.5 min where I caught up to him and surged past him on a small "hill" . I used the downhill to pick up the pace and  pull away from the other guys. I saw that I had been gaining on Benson who was about 20 seconds ahead of me at the turn around. Ethen had opened a pretty big lead on him at that point. With about 1000 meters to go I started a long kick to the finish.

I was able tho cut the gap on Benson to 5 seconds and left 4th place 18 seconds behind. I wish I would have gone out a little faster and been able the challenge Benson over the last  mile but I already thought the first mile was going to be 4:50something but I didn't look at my watch at all. 

My official time was 15:29.
