A new 5k PR, by 45 seconds! 20:15. I am sixteen seconds from a sub-20 minute 5k, which has been a far off goal since I started running races.
Today's race was run by the same people as the Thanksgiving race. The website didn't work, the results are not published, and there wasn't a lot of competition. I think the winner was at 19:18, and I came in second at 20:15. When the race started I quickly went to second place, and I knew it was a matter of time until people started passing me, as they usually do. However, I kept up strong, without any issues. I was pushing it, not to the max, but comfortably fast.
I finished second in the race, which is a PR. My first mile was under 6 minutes, which is also a PR. Some of the people that 3-6 months ago used to pass me around mile 1 didn't catch up to me today.
Very good race day for me! Average pace was 6:32/mile.
