Notes

Goal was 21:39. Really unsure of pacing as I went out. Just tried to go really fast and hope it's sub-7:00. Had doubts all during the first half, then at the turnaround heard 10:45. My mental math wasn't great at that point, and I briefly despaired of making the goal, but later realized that would be a 21:30. That gave me a valuable boost. It wasn't easy by any means, but I had enough confidence to push my perceived limit a bit and take some risk. Made it over the finish in good shape.

DW & DD1 went crazy as cowbell-wielding spectators.

I fear my next 5K PR will be difficult.
