AM: Went to Clermont hoping to get the course record in the Clermont Parkrun 5k. Did a TON of striders, trying to prime my super sore legs. That helped a bit, but I still felt achey at the beginning. I was aiming for a 15:29 flat.
Then the race just happened- and it was over in the blink of an eye. I missed the record by 5 seconds. It was definitely mental, I know I am faster than that. I just lost control, did not relax, and didn't use the watch to my advantage. I felt my blood boiling a bit when I finished, since I knew I wasn't tired enough to have had just given a fully effort. Final time was a 15:44.
5k Splits- 4:59, 4:59, 5:13, Finish 0:33
