3rd year in a row doing the cap pursuit 5k. always love this race! got out feeling pretty good and really just maintained a steady pace throughout, didnt slow down much and didnt speed up too much. A nice gauge of my current fitness going into some more fall races. weather was perfect, light winds and mid to upper 40s. splits:
1- 5:34.4 2- 5:46.5 3- 5:20.0 (marker was off) last .1-- :57 (marker was off) last 1.1 was total of 6:17, so probably actually a 5:40ish and a 35-37 second final .1 as i had a decent kick today. once again, positives in this race were steady pace and i felt great. pace actually felt pretty easy. for my efforts i got a $30 gc to a local running store, so looks like my next pair of running shoes will be discounted. steady uptick in mileage this week as i keep pounding away.
