Comments Went out to enter in the Main Line 5K this morning in Wayne, PA. Weather was perfect and it was refreshing to see an organized race that was being handled really smoothly. Good sponsors, easy to register and everything was under control. The course weaved around streets in a small neighborhood. There were some tough hills especially in the second half of the race. Sadly I didn't get to preview the course before hand so every hill was a surprise.
At the start 5 guys took off ahead of me. I tried to stay conservative with this being my first race back in over two months. I let them go, but eventually caught back up with a guy that dropped off. There was one really tough hill in the last 800 that stopped everybody in their tracks. Dont remember too much of the race, but ended up catching one more guy to place 4th in 16:10. Was reeling in the 3rd place guy but just ran out of space. Felt surprisingly smooth today, wish the time was a little faster, but no doubt on a faster course I would have been under 16, or if I haven't been cranking out mileage for the past 2 months.
Recovered in minutes and went out for a quick cooldown. Just missed the podium and the money, My time would have been good for 100$ last year. Just my luck.
