S - 10, Rothman 8k, 25:54, 29th. Thought I could run faster, but solid effort. Love racing in Philadelphia. It was cold: 25ish. Got out a little slow; thought I was picking it up but was just maintaining. At 3, a turnaround, I realized I needed to adjust and focus and make sure I broke 26. Evan ran a great race 25:19, and not pushing harder after the mile and going with him may have been a mistake. I was in no-mans land for the whole race, picking off stragglers. A pack might have helped. 5:08, 11, 10, 16, 15.
