This is a PR for me. I have not had a faster 5K time on any race course. So, this was a great run! The Turtle Trot is full of fast runners so I started off faster than was comfortable. In the first mile, I was running next to someone who expected to finish in 22 minutes. At mile 1, I was running a 7:15 min/mile pace, and I knew this was not sustainable so I let myself slow down a little, but it was kind of too late--I had already spent too much energy and had trouble crossing the finish line without puking. I avoided such spectacle, but it was close.

Another run in 34 degree temps, but it was a beautiful morning otherwise, and I dressed warm enough for it. I decided to speed down the first hill and got tired by the first mile marker. In fact, I kind of got bored. I had started at the front of the group and maintained a position toward the front, so there were only 5 people ahead of me, spaced widely apart. By the end of the race, another 5 people passed me so I ended in 11th place. I don't think I slowed my pace, but I may have. Having so few people in front might have led me to revert to a slower pace since it was kind of like a regular run rather than a race. The 8:22 mile/min pace is good, but I've gone faster than that several times before. In fact, I was 33 seconds slower this year compared to the same race last year. I don't care that much about this shortfall; I have barely trained for anything in the past two months.
