Splits - 1: 6:14; 2: 6:05; 3: 5:42; 0.1: 5:25. (Average Pace 6:03)

This race started less than a mile from my house, so I jogged up to the start line and lined up just as it was about to begin. Brutal doing a race on daylight savings time! 

Mile 1 felt pretty good - as it always does!

A big downhill at end of mile 2 and in mile 3. In comparison to other 5Ks I've run, the last mile ran itself! So the challenge of this race as to keep my effort level at 5K effort rather than just cruising down the hill at 5K pace. I was able to keep my effort level up and was feeling that 5K pain in the last 0.1. 

In the last stretch I was trying to catch the 3rd and 4th place finishers. But they were playing cat and mouse with each other and had picked up the pace too. But I was able to keep the 6th place finisher from passing me in this final stretch. It was a pretty competitive race!

There was a cheater in this race! A lady jumped onto the 5K course in the very last city block of it with about 0.1 to go, and finished one place ahead of me. She was disqualified!

In DC for work. After a day of meetings, got out onto the Capital Crescent Trail. It was a warm day here almost 70 degrees. There were tons of people out on the trial - especailly cyclists. 

Progression run - a few easy miles and 3 miles moderate. 

+yoga at hotel gym. My legs are still sore from the 5K. Especially IT band on left leg.
