5000 m

5:06 mi

Notes

Good race, as this is a post college PR even if only by one second. Out smooth and patient through the mile right at 5:00, then moving up through the field into the second pack through the second mile, hit it in 10:00, right at my goal. Tried to keep the heat on through the last mile, but I died a little. I guess I just lack a little strength, more miles, longer workouts. I guess it was probably 5:10-5:12 for that third 1600 split? That sucks.

But hey I gave myself a shot at running 15:30, just didn't quite have it as usual in that last mile.

The rest of the guys ran well. Scott was amazing, 14:27... it was kinda scary watching the first heat, watching those guys suffer. This sport is not for the faint of heart.
