7 AM start time for this one.

I was very excited to run under 20 minutes for the first time in a while. Splits were 6:37, 6:20, 6:20 and 32

Wow - nicely done Rob. I fear I have seen the last of the sub 20 min 5k's but you've given some inspiration with that effort.

Good man. I've always enjoyed your love for racing no matter what shape you're in and racing frequently. This is a nice direction.

Nice time and very good splits for the time! I've been eyeing sub 21:00, maybe soon. I'm thinking there's one more sub-20:00 in me.
