Run
Comments: Ran the first mile in 7:15, which I thought might be a crash and burn pace. Ran second mile in 7:25, which I still thought might be a crash and burn pace. HR in very high 170s. Ran last 1.1 miles in 8:17, so yes, there was a bit of crash and burn. After mile 2 I was getting dropped by people I was running on pace with. HR was in the low 180s, though it dropped to high 170s by end of run. I think maybe I didn't push myself hard enough when I saw my HR over 180... What would you do differently?: Not pay attention to HR monitor during run. Post race
Event comments: Nice flat course. A lot of local and small town feel to the race. Was fun. My last 5k (almost 5 months ago) was over 26 minutes, so I was pleased with this sub 23 minute result! Last updated: 2007-04-28 12:00 AM

Left home at 6:30, arrived in Fredericksburg at 7:30.
I hadn't done a 5k in 5 months so this was a test of if my Long Slow runs and Short Slow runs convert into faster 5ks. Also used the opportunity to figure out my AT heartrate.
This was the last day of my recovery week so I was relatively fresh for the run.
A bit of running around square.
