This was not a great performance with miles going something like 5:52, 12:06 (6:14), 18:14 (6:08), 18:52 (:38). It was a rolling course and I did get 2nd overall but it was quite a small race, maybe 100 runners. I did talk with someone afterward who said his Garmin got the distance as 3.3 miles but I really don't believe it could have been a full 0.2 long -- that would bring my time down into the 17:40s and I'm definitely not in sub-18:00 shape for 5K. One tenth of a mile long I'd believe but not more than that.

Perhaps not excellent, but not too shabby either, especially if it was long.

Not shabby at all! Nice pace on a longish course. You're a beast!
