Decided since I didn't race much last year (only 4 races total, two marathons, lake to lake relay, and a 5K) I better try to get out and race more this year, even if I'm not in racing shape.
I figured the half would be a little too far, so I settled on the 5K.
In 2009 I ran 18:09 and in 2008 18:48. I didn't really know what to expect going in, so I didn't really have any time goals.
1-5:47 Ran the first mile or so with Mike Schramm, we were in 3rd and 4th, two younger kids were about 10 seconds ahead
2-6:12 Mike put a good gap on me here, but I was ok with that.
3-6:10 I was happy with my effort the last mile, considering how much I just wanted to stop.
.1- 28 ?
Overall 18:28 (5:57 average) Nothing too great to report about this race, but at least this gives me a good starting point and hopefully I can get out and train and race more in 2011. |
