Notes

Went out in about 73, then 72. 1k was just over 3minutes. Pace felt fast at first but slowed, would have liked the pace to stay strong but also wasn't willing to go faster on my own. Ended up in last after the second lap but that really wasn't a problem as my pack caught the pack ahead. 2miles in and just over a mile to go I made a jump to bridge a gap and then just kept on pushing to pass almost all of pack (now dispersed) ahead of me. So like my 10k I went hard about 2/3 into the race (not a usual or typically easy thing) but then slowed down after the initial move. Finished in 15:39. Nothing special about the time but happy with my place. I didn't think it was especially windy but many runners were 20+ seconds off there seed/season best. So overall happy but now wanting to do another 5k.
