Comments Drove out to Ambler for the Frosty 5Miler as part of the mid-atlantic road racing series with PRTC. Been my first solid week over 50miles in a while, so went in with the mentality to tempo the race and close hard if I felt good. The course was a bit hillier than I had expected with rollers throughout and a couple long inclines at points, luckily they were balanced out with some much needed down hills. Got out quicker than expected under 5:10, but there was a lot of competition and the first mile was comfortably downhill for the most part. Backed off to pace and just maintained, before trailing off in the end. Didnt feel too great in the last mile over the course of a windy trail segment. I was hoping tempo at this point in time was 5:30-35s. 5:40s didnt feel great but I wasnt dead either. Needed today to get back into the mentality of racing. Motivated to get fit again at this point.
