Race conditions were nice for a Thursday night in April (about 65 degrees and overcast). It was a pretty similar story for me when it comes to running 5ks. I started too fast and struggled to hang on. My mile splits were 5:53, 6:21, and 6:40. Overall chip time was 19:44. It was a PR of 45 seconds for this distance in an official race and I was happy to finally break 20 minutes after failing to achieve this in about 5 5ks last year. |
