5 mile tempo on the Columbia River trail on my old route I marked off. My marks are wearing off, but the paint is still visible. This was supposed to be 6 miles, but I got a little carried away in the middle miles and found myself pushing the limits of tempo pace, so I cut it short.

Mile splits as follows, 180 turnaround every 2 miles:

5:32, 5:26, 5:23, 5:32, 5:28. 27:20 final time.

11 miles easy, super easy workout on the track. 8x200m w/ 200m jogging rests. 35, 36, 33, 33, 32, 31, 31, 31, 32. I have neglected the shorter speed stuff in recent years. This felt uncomfortable.

This was far from the rust-buster race I was hoping for. I doubted my fitness and raced timidly for 5 laps in 2nd place off the leader. The pace was nothing special, we came through 1600m in 4:46, and slowed to 6:00 through 2k, and then the pace picked up and I caved rather than try to test myself and go with it. The winner ran 8:50, I slowed to 76s over the last 1k.
