I'm thinking closer to 17 flat.

Better than 17:51 is in the bag.

Thanks guys. I probably should be able to run close to 17. Two things to consider though...

1. I haven't raced since September and can't remember what it's like.

2. I'm a wimp in 5k's. They hurt you know.

Linear trendline says 17:40-ish.
