Haven't done any speedwork lately but saw this was a real live race, and I had to do it! I miss racing so much. It was in waves, so that was their mitigate the risk component, I signed up for the 8am "elite" wave (they said anyone who could go sub-21), even though I knew I'd be slow. 5:51, 6:13, 5:58, 40 seconds for the extra. my watch had 3.13, so maybe a tad long or just poor tangent running, felt like the 18:43 was accurate though for how I ran. Ended up just settling in to HM tempo pace and just enjoyed myself! So great to be racing again, will never take it for granted again!
