Race: Firecracker 5K (3.107 Miles) 00:15:46, Place overall: 3, Place in age division: 3
Total Distance
7.00

AM: 1.8 WU 5K race 2.1 CD

Official race time: 15:45. Well what can I say? My PR in the 5K is 15:24 and I ran that pace today but for a tougher course added to the fact that it was a long course and there you go. I ran exceptionally well and stayed strong when it got tough. Did I mention the fact that it was 80 degrees with a 75 dew point at start time? I can't wait for a flat, accurate course on a 55 degree day. I feel like I could break 15:20.

Started by feel, ran with Stein, Whitlow, and Greg for the first two miles. Stein took off as expected at the 2 mile mark. Greg did a short burst to gap me a bit. I fought quite hard and Greg was not able to open a larger gap but I was also not able to catch him.

Considering the conditions today I did really well and won 100 bucks too. I wonder what I would have run on the flatter, cooler Lima 5K course. I'm guessing 15:20s for sure. Strava auto splits from my GPS: 4:58,4:54,4:58, (4:57 pace last .2)
