Notes
5K as a part of a friends team to raise money for the Hemophilia Foundation of Ohio.
Small race, asked one of the two fast looking guys what he was aiming for, he said 17ish, I said I'd queue off his back and see him afterward. He went out faster than me, I was ahead of the other fast looking guy. Two loops around a nice little lake. First mile in 5:51, felt ok, second in 6:03, falling off the pace on account of being almost entirely by myself, third mile felt crappy, really wanted to slow since I knew I wouldn't be passed, but pressed on, 5:53, finish in 18:08ish.
A PR, but according to my watch, the pace was the same as the Riverfront race which marked out .02 longer. This is a tree covered looping course, so discrepancies are to be expected. I'm counting it. Regardless, it's nice to see that my current marathon focus hasn't detracted too much from my speed at the shorter races.
