Another Hobble Creek grind, but this time everybody seemed to be holding back more than usual. I went through mile 1 in 4:48 (a bit fast) but nobody passed me until 2.5 in - for a minute, I thought everybody had decided to jog it. Ha ha. My overly zippy first mile made me unable to break 5:30 in a consistent fashion for the remaining miles, which made the remainder of the race a bit hard. I hoped I could stay ahead of Curtis but he passed me just before the first dip in Mapleton and there was no way I was going to catch him going up that hill. I slogged through the flat canal road and enjoyed the Maple street downhill to the end, but he still beat me by 50 seconds or so. Nice day anyway.
