Notes
So I really goofed up here. On a second time around a 5k course I went the wrong way. The first time around there were a few 5k runners with me and well I just followed them and ran and did not really pay attention. Finished the first half with a 5k PR and was feeling really good still. Somewhere around mile 4.5/5 I goofed up. There was volunteer there but he was directing runners from the 5k to the right direction and did not pay attention to me. I went straight instead of left and almost immediately knew it was wrong. So I ran a bit and started looking around, I definitely slowed this mile with all the uncertainty. Greg M had been behind me but in my sight and now he wasn't so I knew this was way wrong. Decided to turn around and head back. I ended up running further than course was. All in all just feel like giant dumbass for goofing when I was doing well and could have had a sub 40:00. But Still good hard, run for my first ever 10k. Wasn't sure I was going to like it, thought it was going to suck worse than a 5k but I actually enjoyed this distance.
