Sherwood, Oregon
United States
96F / 36C
Sunny

Total Time = 27m 46s
Overall Rank = 87/179
Age Group = 50-59
Age Group Rank = 7/13

Pre-race routine:

Since this was an evening race I didn't get in the normal prep work. Due to the heat I was trying to keep up my hydration.

Event warmup:

Very warm so I did a slow job. I did not do my normal surges.

Run

27m 46s
3.1 miles
08m 58s min/mile

Comments:

I worked to keep my heart rate at about 158 beats per minute. The course was relatively flat with some hills near the finish. More than anything it was very hot. No pacing here just a steady effort.

What would you do differently?:

Not much this was my first short race in quite a while. I just wanted to see what I could do in back to back 5k's.

Post race

Warm down:

None.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

A lack of speed work. My 1/2 IM training is not conducive to running fast 5k's.

Event comments:

Solid run on a day that wasn't very conducive to a race. Please with my time. I hope to meet or decrease this time tomorrow.
