Blackridge Trail 5k this morning. This is where I jacked my knee up last year, which bytheway is not a 100% still. I said if it wa raining I wouldn't run, it rained all night instead. I wanted to be very careful and didn't really even care what pace I came in. I warmed up a mile before the race.
The race had a few more fast people this year. It was a muddy mess, not sure how long it will take that trail to recover. I stayed back and just ran, I wanted to be safe. Even at that I had some close calls. I ended up 8th overall and 3rd in the age and I didn't even care. I should be able to make up time in the 10k and especially the Half Marathon if I am healthy. Staying healthy was the goal! 25:28 for the 5k.
Cooled down with Stockton afterwards.
