I am happy with the race.  A course PR by 5 seconds and almost the exact same split times as 2014. I ended up by myself in 3rd place, behind Ben and Riley, from miles 3 until 6 when Bryant caught up and easily passed. He always runs a smart race. He continued on to catch Ben and finished in 2nd. I still felt good at the point and kept my splits in the 5:1xs.  At mile 11 I heard footsteps again and thought it was Jason Holt but was pleasantly surprised to see Nate Krah who was right on my tail. We went back and forth for the rest of the race and he out kicked me with .1 left in the race. Fortunately it only cost me $25 :) It was fun to run head to head with him considering that many of our training miles have been run together lately. Congrats to Ben, Bryant and Riley for finsihing a strong 3,2,1.
