This race was sponsored by a former first grade student. She is now a senior in high school. I love supporting their endeavors and appreciate how they stay connected with me through the years.
In typical fashion, I am a slow starter. If I could figure out how to improve my first mile, I might enjoy 5K events better.
1 mi - 8:58 / 2 mi - 8:04 / 3 mi - 7:58 / 3.20 mi - 7:48
I tried my hardest to keep my finish under 26 minutes as I neared the time clock. Unfortunately, my best efforts failed me. It was a tough finish running uphill. Overall, it was good race with an overall average pace of 8:23.
