Notes
Good opening 5k! I think this is about what I expected. And about the same I ran in 2019. After my bad Wednesday tempo I was a little worried about making the speed happen, but I also knew I should still be in about the same shape as July when I ran those 16:30s. The course was mostly flat but tough footing, all grass and rocky trail. After the first short lap (3min) I got into a pretty good rhythm and picked up speed. Felt fast and good through 2 miles. Last mile was quite tough but I just held on. No GPS watch or mile markers on the course but my guess is it was pretty even paced throughout. Happy with this effort and looking forward to improving on it as the season progresses.
