Notes
Had some DOMS, legs feeling really heavy during warm up. Weather was muggy (dewpoint 16-17) but not really any wind nor sun. Goal was to go out around 3:58 pace and try to pick it up on the way back. Started out nice and conservatively but had problems hitting below 3:58. noticed around the halfway mark that the course would be measured long as it turns out we didn't take the most direct route to the turn around - this added about 50m or 12 seconds. Really had to pick it up on the way back to break 20:00, started passing people and was feeling pretty good, turnover could have been better but the heat wasn't really getting to me. Finished the last 600m at around 3:42 pace which is what I needed to break 20. Happy with the effort considering the heat and the course measurement. L. finished 1st overall female in 21:14.7; she's getting really close to me.
