Race: SLCTC 10K (6.214 Miles) 00:36:55, Place overall: 13, Place in age division: 5

Goal 36:30

Started out tucked in behind a big group of Sasha, Dennis,Collin, Rob, Steve Ashbaker. I knew the pace was quick but my breathing was pretty relaxed. Came through the first mile in 5:28. The last time I ran that fast for a flat mile was August 2012 (Dart Challenge). I felt great though, my heart was fluttering a little but it settled in and I decided to push to the front of the group. Sasha, Dennis and Collin stayed right with me. I hit mile 2 in 5:39 still feeling good. In the 3rd mile I lost some ground to Dennis and Sasha, but it was still 5:39. I was right at 17:20 for 5k. That's 30 seconds faster than my 5k two weeks ago.

Unfortunately, right as I turned around I understood why I was running so fast. The wind was much stronger than I anticipated and I had a lot of trouble getting going again. Collin caught and passed me. I wanted to work together with him but he quickly gapped me. Mile 4 was 6:28 and I realized that I might not break 20 for the second 5k. Fortunately the wind let up a bit and I picked it up again to 6:20 and 6:08 for the last 2 miles. Last .214 in 1:11.

My 5k splits were 17:20 and 19:35, I may win the "who had the biggest positive split?" battle. However the first 5k was the fastest I've run in a while and I'm not really used to moving my legs that fast.

The wind reading at the airport was 10mph coming from the North, but clearly the wind was coming from the West. If we assume a 10mph wind coming from the West then that actually reproduces my splits pretty accurately and indicates that the wind cost us about 20 seconds.
