Headed to the track to run 9 x 200 repeats. Nice to not have any wind and temps not too bad just under 50. Based on my similar workout 2 weeks ago I figure around 45s (6 min pace) is good for me. Felt pretty good, better than last time I did this.

Splits were 44, 45, 44, 44, 43, 44, 43, 43, 42.

Ran my first 5K since I don't remember when. This was my 'tester' 5K just to see where I'm at then I plan on doing the 'real' 5K in June. I had forgotten how not-fun 5Ks are the last mile or so, ouch!

Kind of a hard route for racing on the SF river trail, first 1/2 was very slightly downhill with a bit of tailwind then turn around and come back the same way with some good headwind the last quarter mile. Also didn't start until 9:15 so it was a bit warm. Felt pretty good the 1st half but died the last mile. Need to remember how to race and gut out the pain a little better without wimping out. 

I think the course was a bit short, maybe barely 3 miles. So probably true 5K distance I would have been just under 22.
