3.1 miles (06:53/mile)


Got Grit 5K in Hillsborough. Did not start watch, but Jen Chu I were running nearly the same pace (less than a second difference in time), and she was gracious enough to share the run.

Fun 5K. Had no plan going into the race. Mostly flat and fast…started out too quick (as always…?) but reined it in during mile two. The final mile felt like I had slowed dramatically…but if I did, then I was in good company.

Jen passed me within the first mile…so afterwards it turned into the “are we going uphill or downhill” game to decide who was in the lead. In the final quarter mile, she put in an excellent push to edge me out at the finish…despite the timing results (grin). The delta between our times was in the hundredth of a second range.

Exact pacing and heart rate not mine, due to forgetting to start the watch. Cardio was fine, and legs felt pretty good…mostly recovered from last weekend.
