Notes
My watch only says 4.88, so don't know if the I'm wrong or Harpoon, although I'm guessing me. According to my watch, I started out at 550 and then dropped to around 620. According to Harpoon I started out at 535 and dropped slower, so mile 2 was 550 and then probably steady 620s. My plan was to go sub 30, but I went out too fast. Benson said he was trying for around 6 minutes, so I went out with him. We were sucked along though, there was a lot of people. It was also hot.
That being said, this was probably the best 5 miler I've ever done. Besides being fast, I think I was in 18th in my age group so pretty far back with an almost sub 30 time, it was also fun. Afterwords there is a mini harpoon fest, so drinking, food, and dancing.
Had a BBQ afterwards which I had fun at. My only complaint about the day is how sunburned I got. It is also a drinking sunburn, meaning the top of my arms sans the wristband area. Not super painful though, so could have been worse.
