Bike ride over to a live 5k race across town: 7.86 mile ride down SR 11 nad Central - 31:15.
About 120 people in the race, but, great organization kept the event safe. Folks stayed away from each other, and the start was waved and spaced out with cones. Hopped off the bike and ran some strides to warm up, realizing quickly the humidity level was awful.
Race started and my wave took off. With Alphabetical groupings for the waves, I quickly was completely seperate from the already distanced other racers. Pretty decent result for me, but, a massive effort for a pace I thought would feel a bit more relaxed - Splits: 5:45, 5:47, 5:44, 40 - 17:57. Out and back course, so a bit easier to gauge things.
Chatted a bit with friends afterward, which was awesome (my favorite part of racing and running), and then got some much needed assisatnace on maintenance for my bicycle. Josh really hooked me up with a derailer cable tightening. a very simple little dial taht he turned fixed the non-functional derailer for me :). Hopped on and headed for the track at Col North for some more work. Put in 8x400 at 5k pace to finish off the workout and plan for running for the day. biked on home the rest of the way going the long way. fun morning.
