March 11th - Kansas City Westport's St. Pats 4 mile Race
22:16 @ 5:32avg (4.02 miles)
Biggest mistake in this race was I hadn't eaten anything for 20 hours prior to race time! Felt fine and relaxed the first 2 miles and then after that everything fell apart. Really struggled to maintain pace the last two miles, while my friend Misgina caught up to me at the 2 mile marker, I tried to hang on to him but he gradually pulled away. He finished 2nd overall in 21:46, I was 3rd. On the plus side, all three of us (overall winner too) all ran slower times than last year, although the leader did not have as huge of a difference as Misgina and I (I ran 21:31 last year and finished 9th!).
