Notes
Wayland XC Challenge 5k open, 16:58, 7th/173 runners (combined)
Great effort! Fun to get back on an XC course. It's been a while! I'm guessing the splits were off...
05:30
10:37--5:07!? ( with hills)
16:28--5:51... ( working hard)
16:58
conservative start again, worked my up through the pack, from 30-40th at the mile, to 14 or 15th at the 2-mile. Several solid hills, worked hard on the ups and really used the downhills well, especially at the finish. Wasn't sure if I could sustain the surge from 800m out (downhill, then flat 100m and then onto a track for 300m more), but I kept thinking of having energy left at the end last week... Still found a good, strong sprint over the final 250-300m.
