AM: Sandy Classic 5K
PM: 7 miles
Today I ran in the 4th of July Sandy Classic, a long time tradition in our family. Started off the race with my brother (Daniel), Blake, and Zach. Started with a 5:40 pace for the first half mile and then brought it down. Blake took the lead early and kept the pace quick. As we hit the turnaround point, a kid behind us surged, trying to gain and lead and create a gap, but we covered the move well. In the last half mile, Daniel and I passed Blake taking the lead. Daniel started his kick which caught me off guard and cost me 1st place. Overall, I'm really happy about how the race went. What I would do differently is that I would have kicked with Daniel, and try to out sprint him in the final stretch. After the race I ran 7 miles alone around the usual loop.
