Fifth was the best we could do without Taylor and Aaron. It was hard for us to recover from that.
Mental toughness was the key. We were doing a good job of getting out and being where we wanted to be at the mile mark of races but would fall back in the middle part of the race. We did a good job by not falling back today (Thursday).
Our effort was pretty good in humid conditions, which makes the legs a little dead. So our times weren't necessarily where we wanted them to be at, but at the same time, we competed and finished hard.
Cole had a really good race. Our top three ran about as good as we can expect. It was a little bit of shock at first with the pace. The first mile was quicker than they're used to.
The main thing was to get some of our less experienced guys more experience.
That's a lot better than we have been. Cole was real impressive. We also have to give credit to Clayton, Josh, Taylor and Aaron. We kept telling them to close the gap between them and the runner ahead and they did a great job.
