2 mile warmup with 5 minH 3E, 4H 2E, 3H 1E, 2H 1 E. Had to stop halfway into the 2 because my achilles was giving me some problems. Im transitioning into a new pair of shoes so thats probably why.

I wasn't sure how this race was going to turn out considering how it was only my second week back. I warmed up with Adam and Evan. I love racing at dusk and the track surface at Lake Braddock was extrememly nice. I was not looking forward to this race all day but when I got to the line I felt good. I went out really controlled unlike all the other kids in my race and just mainted a even pace thru the first mile. Alex Corbett was leading almost the entire way and I was in the chase pack until lap 6 and 7 when everyone dropped off. I was about 10 m behind on the bell lap and felt good. I wanted the W so I kicked hard. I caught Corbett on the homestretch and won my first race in Virginia. It felt good to catch someone on the bell lap.
Was at my sisters house for the weekend so I got to run at probably one of my favorite places ever. The Petersburg battlefield. I felt good until about mile 7 when the posterior side of my knee started to really bother me. I think it was my gastrocnemius.
