Notes

Hell Yes! Longtime goal of sub 18:38 (6 min pace) 5K achieved!

Quite happy with how the race went, took it out solid, but not too easy the first mile and did a good job clicking away in the second mile as it began to hurt. 3rd mile was a little weak, quit on it slightly for about 600m or so, but then realized I was being a pansy and let things rip again in the last 1000m or so. Pretty strong finish, though I still need to start my kick a little earlier and crescendo to all out just a little sooner.

Splits of (approx.):

Mile 1 - 5:55 (slighty uphill)

Mile 2 - 5:45(slightly downhill)

Mile 3 - 6:13

Last .1 - 26 (uphill)

I think I have a pretty good shot at a 17:XX by the end of my "season" in October.
