AM 10 miles, Race US 5k Championships 14:28.0 Results
PM 5 miles, 35min
Total: 90 miles
The race Sunday was loaded as expected. This is probably the most competitive 5k natl champs in a long time. I was the 17th American in 14:28, a time that would have placed me in top 10 last year (which was my initial goal back in April). Although I improved 6 seconds from the Cigna race a month ago, I don't think I ran a smart race. I had too much left at the end of this race. I was way too conservative between 1.5 and 2.5miles, by the time I was able to start moving was a little too late. I wish I was more aggressive, but I guess this is a good sign of fitness. I need to start training myself mentally and physically to get as close to the red line as possible. I did not do that on Sunday. Hopefully next time.

Ruben, that was an excellent race! Great way to start your post-collegiate career.... you're going to have a great fall campaign...
