Fun day. I did a 3 mile warm up in 17:45 (5:55 average), then went to the Beat the Banker 4.01K. I was excited to do this race because I haven't raced shorter than Half Marathon in over 1 year. I miss the speed of 5K races. I'll have to try and run a few of those in the upcoming months.
The race was kind of a goofy course, but the race director wasn't setting up a course for speed, just out to have fun and enjoy exercise and the community. I feel nerdy "racing" at these types of runs, but who cares. I love to go fast! I led from the gun, took first in 12:09 which is a 4:52 per mile average. It just felt good to go all out again.
After the race I did another 4 miles in 24:29 (6:08 average). Nice cool down where I could enjoy the completed race.
Warm up and cool down were in Cumulus 8 (orange)
Race in Speedstar
