Chilly 5K was definitely chilly! Lots of rain and cold but there were still a good number of people that showed up. We went out at a good pace (around 5:50) but then the leader started to slow down (a lot!). We were around a 6:05 pace approaching the first mile when I started to pass. He just sped up and ran past me again. At least now the pace was faster. He held this pace for another quarter mile and began to slow down again. I passed and kept the lead this time. At the end of the race I realized that I was too slow through about 1 to 1.5 miles. Definitely capable of sub 18. Hopefully next time.
