Today's mile was decent. I passed some people from the start and hung on the front pack for the whole race. They did a move before I could do mine and I ended up just resisting it and not actually trying to pass them. I did that for too long and finishing just trying to pass them too late, during the last lap. I finished 4th just behind the 2nd and 3rd guys. I'm happy with the way I resisted but I should have made a move instead of resisting.
I'm also pretty disappointed with my warm up as I couldn't do any stride in spike before the race. Their schedule was really weird and we didn't anticipate it well. I was still very focused on the race.
I then paced the 2k for the guys, and I felt really tired warming up with them. I couldn't even hold the pace for the first 8 min of warming up. The race went ok, but that was my first pacing work and it wasn't really well done, as I was supposed to run the first 2ks in 6:20 and ended up doing it in 6:28.
Overall a good weekend, but still disappointed with that mile time as I really felt like there was more to give at the end.
