CPC 15k 2019, official time: 61:45.
Started right on the line and was really excited to be racing and took the first mile or two out too fast. Pat went out faster than he wanted as well but was smart and slowed down, I caught up to him around mile 1. Was struggling pretty hard miles 2-4 and then Pat caugt me around 4.5 which was enough encouragement to hold the pace. We ran roughly together until ~8 when JoeF sailed up with a huge group of guys going fast and Pat went with them. Last 1.5 was really tough, right Achilles hurt a lot and the sharp turns in the last 0.3 were painful. All in all better than I expected for my current fitness but I wish I was in better shape. Pretty similar pace to my 10 mile PR which is 6:40 (on a hot day and hilly course, with little training) so maybe next weekend I can run 2 sec per mile faster and get a PR.
Based on VDOT this translates to a 3:05 marathon time on a flat course with perfect weather, so I have a ways to go :/
