Comments:

Goal was a rather ambitious 8:30 miles, previous best was 8:53. Didn't hit that but improved my time by over 1:00 over my last 5K July 05, so it's all good. Slightly faster than the last 3 mile run.

I've got some more base under me, but not a lot of speed, and I feel better after this one than the last, so I just need to keep working

Splits were all just about 8:53-54


What would you do differently?:

run lots
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

More base, more speed, less weight

Event comments:

Per usual, I was initially disappointed my race, but, also per usual, after a couple hours reflection, although I am a bit slower than the end of last season, I am a lot faster than the beginning of last season, which is I think where I should be. EDIT - duh, I am actually a bit faster than the end of last season, so there!

Running through the season will just make my times faster.

PB's are the best!

Self reflection/negative thinking stinks...do more of the first

Cool that you are faster now than at the end of last season...and will continue to get so.

I'd love to run your old PB m/m for even one mile!
