Comments: Started a little behind the line, and saw the early group break into two packs. I spent the first mile reeling in the 2nd pack. By then, the 1st pack had broken apart a bit. The 2nd mile was spent steadily making up time on the back of that group. At the start of mile three, I set a goal to be in the lead of the group just ahead of me before we hit the 1/2 mile-to-go point. I caught them, drafted just a bit, then made a strong, uncontested pass well before my target. After that it was just stay strong and push for the finish. The next person was quite a bit ahead, and although i didn't catch him, I definitely was making up some time during that last 1/2 mile. What would you do differently?: Nothing. This was a great race, and I felt like I executed it very well. A new 5K PR! Post race
Warm down: After catching my breath, I went for a second loop of the course to cooldown and loosen up. Much easier pace, though I was surprised when i finally looked down at my watch. Cheered folks, thanked volunteers, picked up some stray trash -- just enjoyed being out there with folks. What limited your ability to perform faster: Nothing, although I'm sure some more speed training could have helped. Didn't feel hindered by the harder run yesterday, although that is something else to consider. Event comments: Great local event. The activities for kids (bounce house, crafts, etc.) are a great touch. Bagels, apples, bananas for food. Some nice door prizes too. Last updated: 2011-09-10 12:00 AM

Bread with a little peanut butter for breakfast. Then off to get Ryan to his first soccer game of the season. Left early to get to the church for the race.
A quick warmup down Legacy, probably less than 1/2 mile total. Some small pickups, just to get the legs loosened.
