I found a local 5k in Nashville. Ran 2 miles early am then left for the race. By the start time of 8:30am, the heat and humidity were horrible. Nice course entirely of rolling hills. The conditions really drained me, no speed. Fun race, but my time was slow even for me. Good news is I placed 3rd (of 8) in my AG. The men's and women's winners both said their times were over a minute slower than their usuals. I asked how people train in the south. The replies were early morning or after dark. One lady said this was her last race of the summer. |
