Notes
Chip time 36:37. Good race and nice improvement from 38 min at the beginning of June. Was hoping to break 37 min. Knew I was going out fast after seeing the first mile split but felt okay. Tried to push a little harder during 4th and 5th mile where it is easy to lose focus and slow down. Overtook two people during those miles, which helped me keep focus. Also started the last hard effort for the finish line much earlier than I normally do, probably nearly 1 mile out this time, still managed an okay sprint for the line. My 5k splits were 18:04 and 18:33 according to the km signs, doesn't look like that much of a positive split from the Garmin mile splits though. Nevertheless, very happy with a PB, didn't think that would be in the cards before later in the year.
