Race: Tulip Time Klompen Classic 5k (3.15 Miles) 00:18:21, Place overall: 13, Place in age division: 4

Pella Klompen Classic today, a race I've always wanted to be a part of, my legs have been sore and tired for the last 2 weeks, so I knew I wouldnt run a blazing time today, so instead, I decided I wanted to run a smart race. Gun went off at 7pm, great weather, low 70s, a little humidity and windy, pretty flat course--pella is looking beautiful this time of year by the way with all the tulips and the green grasses, my goal was to be around 5:50s for each mile and to not lose any time. I nailed this goal. Hit 5:50 first mile, 5:51 second, and 5:49 third--almost perfectly even splits, the last ".1" was long according to my garmin at .15 in :52, so overall, my garmin said the course was long and I clocked 18:21 for the "5k", which doesnt seem accurate given my even splits, not too worried though, it was a fun race and I executed a race plan. Got 13th out of almost 1900 runners, I did get 4th in my age group, just missed placing--nice to be out racing again and such a beautiful evening to do so...plus I got 2 race shirts!

did some 1k repeats today, although had some serious stomach issues (big lunch) and so had to cut it a little short, quality was still good on the 4 repeats I got done, i hit 3:28, 3:28, 3:28, and 3:33--each with a 1k easy between, felt pretty easy actually, which is 5:34 pace on the 3:28s, it was cool to hit those with such repetition--i was locked in on these. 7 miles overall

held a 6:00 pace was going to go for a 10k at that pace, but the humidity and heat got to me, I stopped after the first 5k--18:38 roughly, then I did anohter 1k and another .25 separately to complete the 4 miles of speedwork--3.75 at tempo pace, the final .25 at goal 5k. set my watch to KM instead of miles and I notice that helps a lot in being able to maintain pace

Race: Dam to Dam 5k (3.11 Miles) 00:17:38, Place overall: 5, Place in age division: 3

Dam to Dam 5k today, decided to drop from the half to the 5k as my training has not really been conducive to a half, this ended up being a really good call. Got up around 6 for a 9:30 start--drove down to the parking garage on 9th and locust, went and watched the elites finish the half- 1:04:xx was the winner, pretty quick, warmed up for a little under 2 miles, did some strides and a burnout to get my legs broken in and ready for the 5k, made the decision to set my watch to km instead of miles so that I could get more frequent updates on my pace, goal was 3:30s each time (17:30 pace) got out easy and felt pretty relaxed, 3:22 at the first k, much faster than anticipated, but it felt fine, was at about 5:21 at the mile, 3:26 for the 2nd k, 3:30 for the 3rd k, started to pull away from the guy i had been running with and realized I was in 5th place, there are about 3000 runners in this race and so I was not expecting a top 5, goal was to keep it together and try to run down the 4th place runner--vic morales, a guy I have raced many times before, 4th k was 3:31, we were fully with the half marathon walk/joggers now and so the course was packed, pretty straight course, so just a few tangents that i didnt quite get, last k was 3:36, but i still wasn't finished, something in the neighborhood of 15 seconds leftover (.07k roughly) the course probably wasnt long, i just wasn't able to get a good tangent run given the runners ahead, regardless, 17:38 for the 5k, a really good effort that I am pleased with. got a medal for getting 3rd in my age group--still cant believe I got 5th in this prestigious event. pretty cool! 4 mile cool down.

 

Time update: official time was 17:38, one second faster. Every second counts! brings avg pace from 5:41 to 5:40
