First 4k of the year

 

The first 4k pursuit of the year was also the state championship, and it was done just a week before our biggest local event of the year, AVC, where I am doing it again together with the kilo. As AVC attracts professionals, and has a big prize purse this was a great time to get a baseline reading to see how fast I could go. To be safe, I decided on a conservative pace (target time: last years personal best). I did this comfortably, and I now know that I should be able to go a lot faster on friday. The time was .3 seconds slower than Seth Hosmer, so I had to settle for a state silver this year too. That's ok though, the big events that matter is yet to come. Things are looking good!
