Nice to get an overall race win but I sure hope the course was long! (I believe this is my slowest 5K race ever.) Didn't feel so great and it was windy, but I believe the course measurement really was off as others I know had slower finish times than usual.

Pleased with the race overall although I'd hoped to get a sub-30:00. Ran 5:52, 11:54, 17:53, 24:00 (=5:52, 6:02, 5:59, 6:07, 6:05). Miles #4 and #5 are a little tougher than the first three so my pacing was pretty respectable. Caught a runner with about 600m to go and beat him to the line by :03 -- a good thing as he was a guy who just turned 40 so I was able to get the masters win. 2 warm-up and 5 cool-down.

17 miles total, first 1.75 as warm-up then 20,000m on track in 1:19.30 and 2.75 miles cool-down. Aim was to run the first 1600m in 6:40 and drop :04 each subsequent 1600m as long as possible. Went 6:39, 6:35, 6:31, 6:26, 6:20, 6:19, 6:16, 6:12, 6:09, 6:18, 6:20, 6:20, 3:05. (5Ks were 20:33, 19:51, 19:24, 19:42)
