Fun 5K this morning. It was my speed workout for the week...
Ross Decker and his sons were there and so I was really hoping to beat them. I haven't raced many 5K's on fresh legs so I was excited to see what I could do.
Race started and I went out about 5:30 pace. There was a group of 5 or so of us with me at the lead. The race started out in a neighborhood and made a few turns with some downhill spurts. I decided to try to put some distance on the downhill between me and the others. After a mile I did have a few feet on them. Then we hit about a mile and a quarter stretch of pretty level distance on riverside dr before the end which was mostly slight uphill. I didn't want it to turn into a race at the end so I tried to put a little more distance here which I did. Passed my house with my wife and kids cheering me on as the only spectators along the course other than the aid station. pushed hard up the little hills and got back to the finish area with quite a bit of a lead and was releived enough to let myself slow up a bit...
