Third Race - 5K Recap
So here's my 5K recap that I wrote on my blog:
Checkin in with my 5K completed...and I PR'd!!! Woo hoo! I think I started off too fast, but I really wanted to push myself and I did. The course was a bit hilly, which is expected in my area, and I made sure to accelerate up every hill as not to lose any time. I'm proud of myself bc that's often how I passed people were on the hills. The last mile was the toughest because we were directed onto the horse track (or some kind of track) with loose gravel. My calves were burning coming around that track. And then when I thought I couldn't go anymore I kicked on the "afterburner" and started going faster. The last .1 mile I sprinted as hard as I could and passed one more person that had been in front of me the whole time.
My finish time was 34:09 which is 10:59/mi. I know understand how people can hurl during/after their run. But I'm so satisfied with my run.
Got a bunch of errands to run, but I wanted to give you all the update. Shaved 34 seconds off of my last time...woo hoo!!!
