Race: Belleair Sunset 5k (3.107 Miles) 00:15:12, Place overall: 1, Place in age division: 1
Slow milesFast milesTotal Distance
3.054.107.15

AM: 2 miles total, 0.5 of striders

PM: 1.55 mile warmup, 0.5 striders, then the Belleair Sunset 5k

Weather was in the mid 60s, not bad humidity (70-80%), not super windy (10-12mph).  Really was happy it turned out so nice.  

15:12 gun time, 15:11 chip time.  4:45 through mile 1, 9:37 through mile 2 with the three hard 90 degree turns and the 180 turn around, but then fell apart mile 3.  Second place was John in 17:30.

I was super pumped for getting sub 15.  I failed, but I know I can do it.  I want a do-over (:

Splits- 4:45, 4:52, 5:07, 0:27

Nice race!

You have always been one of my "Heros" on the blog, and I have always admired the hard work that you put into your training; and as your result shows, it has really paid off for you.

I am looking forward to you running under 15:00 this year.

Keep up the good work, and continue being an inspiration to the rest of us here on the blog. :)

Congrats on the PR, Mike. You've got the speed. Sub-15 will come.

Thanks! I appreciate the support. It'll be a while before I can give it a go again, unfortunately.
