Concord 5k

Notes

Concord Distance Classic 5k. Only 2 weeks post-MMT, I totally blew away my expectations of a 19:30 finish.

Warmed-up with a 5k preview run of the course and a few race pace striders.

M1: 5:40 (downhill, but I knew that. I estimate about 40 runners in front of me at the 1/2 mile mark.)

M2: 6:06 (held back, knowing about the hill in mile 3)

M3: 5:56 (finally it oxygen debt near the 2.5 mile mark. Held on by drafting off a teenager to pull me along.)

Final: 18:12

Pleasantly surprised.
