Notes
5k Foot Pursuit from Miller Park, up Front Street to Old Sac and back along the levee:
5:22 first mile - Partial downhill section at the start. 90% effort. Everybody pretty much settled in after the first 800. I tried to stay out of the lead pack, but was still sucked into going a little too fast.
5:42 second mile - Undulating but net uphill. 95% effort
5:52 third mile - Wanted to quit at the start of this mile. Noticed my watch pace early and stuggled to keep it, but did at 5:52. Passed a guy at about 2.5. Started to catch the next runner near the end of the mile. But ran out of time. 95% effort
0:35 final sprint - Started with a run down off the levee and back into Miller Park. Never caught 4th place.
Turned into a great effort. The other runners and the race really help push things. Still started too fast, but only slightly as there was a slight downhill at the start. Have to get stronger and mentally breakdown the final mile.
There is much to improve and that feels good.
