Didn't decide to do this race until yesterday. Started a little bit back from the start line. Way too many slower runners ahead and had to zig zag a bit. I new sub 28 minutes was a stretch, but I wanted to try to keep under 9 minute miles. I didn't make that, but this was still a pretty significant PR. The only other race I have run is a 5k last Thanksgiving where I finished in 33:46.
The race started late and it started to get a little warm. The hill right before the mill avenue bridge was tough. There were 2 girls in German outfits that I wanted to beat, but I couldn't outkick them. I feel good about my effore. I don't think I had a lot left in me.
