Comments 3.5 warmup and strides. This is the most prolific 5k road race in south jersey with all local clubs in full attendance. The race is typically won around 14:40s. Break 16 and you may crack the top 20. Didnt have high hopes coming in with heavy training loads though. Figured If I could get under 16:30 it would be a good sign. I bit more tired than expected. Got out in the stampede and felt like I was running low 5s. To my surprise the clock read 5:19 at mile one. This startled me a bit so I put in a small surge to get back on pace. Mile 2 was more difficult with a few rollers. Clock read 10:42. Felt fine at the top of the hill and tried to move for the last mile. It seems I don't have much pickup at the moment, only managing a 5:15 to close. Watch read 16:32, but will have to wait for the official results. Would have been nice to be closer to 16:20, but mileage and workouts have been more consistent lately. I feel I may need to race myself back into form just to get used to getting out hard again. I am definitely not strained by this race and probably ran a bit scared. Should be able to get out closer to 5 flat for a 5k without too much energy lost. Cool down with the team for about 4. Just have to keep at it for now, still early.
