5K- 19:08

Small race this morning.. I think 54 people in the 5k and 20 people in the 10k. None of the college runners showed up so I wasn't sure if there would be anyone to run with. The course was an out and back with a 180 turn around. The weather was decent... 60 degrees with a 12-15 mph wind.

It turned out that there wasn't anyone to run with except the guy that went on to win the 10k. I was about 10 meters behind him until the 5k turnaround point and then by myself for the rest... I went on to be the overall 5k winner! Woohoo =) Second place was a high school boy in 21:14. Kinda fun =)

Here are the splits and average HR:

3:42.7 (180)
3:45.3 (187)
348.7 (193)
3:53.0 (195)
3:53.4 (196)

Max HR was 201

I think I ran a little more even than the splits show considering that the wind was in my face for the second half of the race. I felt pretty strong through 2 miles... my legs actually felt really good throughout the entire race. I am excited to race again in 2 weeks after I have a chance to get a little speed in my legs. Fun time =)

Congrats on the win! I can't imagine what could chase me that would result in my heart rate going over 190.
