Notes
I decided to do my best and start out with the intention of trying to run a good race for my first 5k in my new age group. I started out fast and passed Chris Cook and John Henis before we got to Vandiver. I assumed Chris Cook was running the 5K but found later he ran the 10K. He passed me around 2 miles and Bill Stoltz passed me as well doing the 10K. I am glad I am not in their age group any longer.
This was not a flat course and not a fast course in my opinion. I pushed pretty hard up the hills and even harder on flat and downhills. I was a bit tired of the hills but managed to have decent mile splits for the 3 miles. Finished in 18:49 which surpassed my goal. I figured running a 19:30 would be possible on this course, but really no clue where my fitness is on 5ks anymore. I ended up enjoying this run more than I expected. Felt much better than the warmup miles.
