In-person, live 5k today in Fort Collins. Awesome to get another in person race done. Wave starts with social distancing. Was in the 8:45 am wave with my brother Jon. Already getting warm at the start, but seemed like a nice morning for a race. I was breaking in my new Vaporflys as well. I will only be using them for marathons (maybe a half) going forward, but I needed to break them in before my first marathon with them, so I figured today was as good as any. They didn't dissapoint - they felt amazing. I don't know how these things are legal haha.

Splits: 5:43, 5:52, 5:39, 33 = 17:49. 5:45 avg

This is a marked improvement over where I was a month ago, so I was very happy with the race. The overall time was good in terms of what I've been able to do at Colorado's altitude, bit the real win was the splits - Kept it steady and had a good push at the end.

10 miles total today with w/u and c/d
