Comments Confused as to my slow nature in 5Ks recently. This was a hilly course, but I was still feeling sharp and ready for a good time. This was even slower than my 5K split in my last 10K. Need to get my head on straight. race went out with some good rolling hills in the first mile, 2nd mile was net uphill, 3rd mile was mostly flat with a downhill dirt finish. 3 Ethiopians took off from the beginning to snag the top 3 payout spots. Another group of 2 running low 16 (where I should have at least been) were running together but I couldn't hang. Passed by a small Ethiopian woman by mile 2 and taken by surprise at the line by a high-schooler in soccer shorts. Not a fun morning racing 5K at my 1/2 marathon PR pace. Need more racing and speed work. Confident times will drop significantly in the next month. No reason I shouldn't have been the first non-African today.
