Notes
Last 5k in the Sprint Series (5th). Decided to meet the Ship in-person for this one. It was warm but a front had blown through so it was not humid at all. A little windy. Thought I would be out front but there were 2 guys right on my tail after the first mile. They passed me about 1.5 miles in, got one back but couldn't get the leader.
Surprised to see a 5:59 in the first mile, 2nd mile had gradual hill, 3rd mile was mostly downhill so I just tried to open my stride and focus on chasing - 5:46 mile also surprising.
Alone in the morning I would get down to low 6s but never crack 6. With a little competition I was able to get back to some 5k paces - felt good. Just hope my legs recover enough for Sunday's half marathon.
