Ollie Classic

Saturday was the Ollie Classic 5 miler in South Boston. The course is not so classic anymore because the G street hill up to the heights was taken out of it. A very good field on hand to race including Mark Carroll and koichiro nagat from japan on the ivy league eikeden trade. The race for me was not as good as I would like but what do you want from a 115 mile week. I went out a little hard and paid for it. Not so much in place but certainly in time. It felt a little warmer than it actually was so I think I may be a bit flat. I am doing some workouts and strides this week to straighten that out.
Here's the data
1 4:50
2 4:56
3 5:14 (stupid hill)
4 5:19 (not cool)
5 5:09

I was happy about one thing because when I had a tough 4th mile I was able to get the pace down a little bit and salvage 3 places. If I would have gone out at 5 miniute pace things would have worked out much better I am certain. Next race will be more even handed.

This morning was the perfect long run in 1:48:20 with kyle schneck and geoff nickerson. perfect day, perfect company, and the trails were in perfect condition. very rare. I think I hit 115 this week but will total it later and post it tomorrow.

That's all I got.
