The race was fun, and I'm glad that they held it prior to it being a Pub Series race in June. When the gun went off, we took a left on a relatively busy road. I was following the lead cop car closely, and they ended up having me cross the road, then cross once more when we took a left into the neighborhood section of the course. I hope they put cones down or simply have the cop car stay in the breakdown lane for that short section.
Anyways, I was running solo for the entirety of the race, and I'm happy with how it went. The first mile was a little slow in 5:32, but part of that can be attributed to the cold and confusingly crossing the street. There's also a small hill during that first mile, but that wasn't too bad. Mile two I was able to dial it in just a bit and run 5:16, and the final mile was the fastest split in 5:10. Since this was the inaugural race, I'm now the course record holder in 16:35!! They had some good beer and good food afterward, so I'll be looking forward to this one come June.
Training wise...t'was a good week.
