Awesome run! It looks like from the photo that you outsprinted several people to the finish! That's always my htfu moment... you run a great negative split race, crush your goal, and THEN outsprint people. Always feels good Smile

Great race!

Great job ! I went on a 4 mile easy run today except I wanted to see how fast I could run for the first two miles. Never ran all out before. Did the first 2 miles in 12:09. Rolled into the ditch to lay there and die!! And that was for just 2 miles.Felt sick for the next 3 hrs. You're in amazing shape to be able to do that for 4 miles 5K PR: 27:14 June 28,2008- first race (3rd in age group)

That is a very impressive time. If you go out with that pace for the first two miles in your next 5k, you can walk the last 1.1 as a cool-down for a PR! If you can somehow hang on with a slightly slower third mile, you can go sub-20 in only your second race.
