PM - Work sponsored 5K. My co-worker sprinted into the lead and a gapped me by a few seconds. I figured he wouldn't be able to maintain the pace so I stayed patient and just kept him within reach. He started to lose momentum and I passed him up just after the first mile. I snuck a peek and the 3rd place guy was still about a hundred yards back, so i just put it into cruise control. I looked back again after the second mile during a short out & back section of the course, and the 3rd place guy had moved into 2nd, but by my mental timing he was a good 40 seconds behind by now, so i eased back on the pace some more (plus this is the big uphill section). Ended up about 50 seconds ahead by the finish. Not a stellar time by any means, but it was enough to bring home the $75 prize. Mission accomplished. (6:23, 6:45, 7:11, 0:50) Official time 21:08.
Short 0.8 cooldown running back to meet up and finish the race with my son. |
