Need to be better sighting. It was also a little intimidating!

It didn't feel this amazing, but it was fast for me for a 10k. Must be the sea level help!! Obviously this was my weakest leg, but it was not as slow as I thought. I would not have guess I could do 8.6 minute miles...
YEAH, and still room to improve.
What would you do differently?:

Wear a hat and sunscreen. No jersey.

Warm down:

Walked and pretty much cried when I finally saw my time and rank.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Nothing but the 8 weeks of training. (not nearly enough for peak performance)
