Cupid Run 5k

Notes

Cupid Run 5k race. I had planned on started about 1/3 of the way back, but most of the racers walked over late and I ended up in the front. I started out too fast, but was able to reign it in a bit after half a mile. I spent the rest of the race gradually slowing down and being passed. I think I may have pulled my hamstring slightly about halfway through. I could have done a much better job pacing, but I'm happy with my overall time and it was a learning experience.

The race was only 2.99 miles. I expect the additional 0.11 might have added an extra 56 seconds based on the speed of my final mile. That would put me around 25:16, around the time of my 5k PR.

I think with a better base and some regular form of speed work, I can get my 5k time below 24 minutes (my goal for the year).
