4:52, 4:57, 4:55, 4:55, 
4:57, 4:57, 4:58, 4:58, 
4:58, 4:57, 4:59, 4:59, 4:56

Mile 1:
4:52 opener felt fine and smooth.   Just led it outright because my coach told me I had mission to do, and it didn’t matter what anyone else was doing.  

I could hear 2 guys 3 seconds back and listened to their breathing, they were chilling.   And I thought good, I have company.  

Mile 2:
the 3 of us were together.  All of us breathing the same.   I was at ease and was happy to keep leading.   

Mile 4:
I just kept the same effort and they eventually these 2 came up to my side.   We all knew what we were doing.   I just let one of them take it because we were all running the same pace anyways.  

Mile 6:
Some rando caught up to us, so now there were 4 together.   I was like damn, I couldn’t even hear you until this point.   

The guy in red look the strongest I was focused on him only.  

Mile 8:
We all settled and I was like, come on Jace you flew all the way out here to not suffer?   So took it for 800m @4:51 pace.  

That killed the guy in red and I was like yes, 2 to go.  

Mile 10:
I just let the rando take it here and the original guy in the beginning ended up getting dropped here.   I was like, alright cool 1v1 with the rando.   I’ve had harder situations on long runs before.  

Mile 11:
The rando went 4:48 and I was like shit, I can’t match that.   That was the wrong mental choice, I should have just went.  

Mile 12:
He had 3 seconds on me and I tried closing the gap, no luck.   

Mile 13:
Took a wrong turn (I don't think it added that much time though).  I had a good close but wasn’t enough.   The mistake was not squeezing from 5mi out when I wanted to drop people.   Should have just kept the pressure.   I just didn’t want to blow up and have a F race.
