Tiger 5k

Notes

1st place by just around 10 seconds. Led from the start...well at least after the first 200 meters and all the ideots who sprint out realized they couldn't hold 4 minute mile pace for a full 5k. Started to pull away from the field after the mile. I didn't really look back until around 2.5 just to see what I had to do to make sure I won. I love training these days, but I really don't like racing all that much. Back in the day I would push myself so hard in races to the point of collapsing at the finish. Even if I was winning by 2 minutes I would still do that. Now I just do enough to win. I never push myself 100%. I guess I have nothing left to prove. Splits were 5:15, 10:45, 16:10, 0:36. My prediction going in was 16:30 but once I got in front and realized I had the win I didn't really push myself.
