Lost and Found Grief Center 5K
Lost & Found Grief Center 5K
Thursday night was my first 5K since Turkey Trot last year. Been running some descent interval workouts so figured I could run around 18:30 or so. Ended up being a bit windy & warm which din't help a lot but still finished in 18:33 so close to what I thought. Ended up 2nd overall first in 40+. The guy who won was 20 so I got beat by a guy half my age. Not everyday you can say that.
The race started & finished in Jordan Valley Park. A pretty cool venue for a race. Course was fairly flat with one little uphill toward end of first lap & finish.

Because of the downhill start I went out a bit fast running 5:39. Was running with eventual winner & another guy. Slowed a little too much second lap running 6:01. not sure when exactly but lost the leader sometime after 2nd mile, maybe a bit before. 3rd mile was even slower in 6:10 but I blame this on lapped traffic. Had to weave all over the place to get through. Had lapped traffic the entire 2nd lap. People were really strung out. Not a big fan of lap course because of this reason. Ran the hill to the finish strong to finish in 18:33. Not great but I'll take it.
