Notes
Absolutely hilarious that I have done long runs, marathons, and virtually every race distance faster than this. I haven't ran a 5K this slow since 2006...but I also haven't been training at all. Jessie wanted to do a TT a few weeks ago, but she bailed out on this due to some external factors so dad and I just ran.
There wasn't much too this...course rolled quite a bit, but I feel like thats where I passed most people at. Didn't feel overly killer on this race, but it was very fun to get out and compete. I definitely miss racing, but life is just so damn busy with work, coaching, and family.
Mile 1- was primarily uphill going towards vine hill, then right at the end it went downhill, so that was nice. Dad and I were together then he put a pretty darn good gap on me in mile 2. Passing so many people that went out too fast which is always fun
Mile 2- neighborhood running, all downhill, flat through the neighborhood too. Kind of found myself in no mans land here, but was closing on the group in front of me and caught a guy before turning onto 101
Mile 3- Just maintained. Got a few more guys going onto old excelsior, but then the hill going up to the high school smacked me in the face...legit felt like I was going all out here which was sad haha. Held off a guy at the finish but got passed by another...whatever
Either way, it was fun. I'd like to get into a rhythm of 35 mile weeks just to maintain fitness and not get fat, but I always say this and it falls apart. Stay tuned I guess. Judging off splits, I think the course was a wee bit short.
