AM: 5k race in Tipton Lakes neighborhood. about 3.5 mile jog over to the race from the house and then some strides to WU, 5k Race: Alot of the usual crowd was there with a couple less regular but well known guys. Mile 1 is always interesting - so many people (of all ages today) go out way too fast - today was no different. I ran a very similar race to what I ran last year - a slight improvement. There's a nasty hill after a sharp turn around at about 2 miles. Mostly, I was really pleased with how I finished today - A couple guys were nipping on my heels around 2.5 mi. (after the hill) and one actually went passed... a nice kick at the end to pass him - that really hurt.
5k Race - 18:27 -- 5:49, 6:00, 5:57, 0:40.6 for 0.14mi. I was actually a second slower than last year in this race... ? :( Anyway, a little cool down mile with the other members of QuaffON race team, and jogged it home - 5.29mi. 45min. PM easy run - 14mi. with Nathan on the people trail from hospital to TL Marina. - 1:56:30 We got rained on for about 5 minutes, but the it was 20 degrees cooler than it has been - it felt wonderful! :) Nathan did 10 more miles after that... http://connect.garmin.com/activity/335223942#
