Running race 27:08 [4] 5.0 km (5:26 / km)
Polar Bear Series #2: 5 km at Pitt-Bradford, about 25F with some breeze; snow was falling, but there was some brief sunshine, too; roads were wet but otherwise fine.
Went out what must have been a bit faster than last time, but I felt good. I did start my watch this time, but missed the 1-mile mark. Hit the 2-mile mark at 17:58. Felt okay as I headed on to campus and hit the "turnaround point" (really a long curve) in good shape. True or not, I had convinced myself that it was downwind from there and that I could pick up the pace and still make it in. I began to pass some folks, squeezing between a pair of runners and the cop car at the last intersection. With about 200m to go, I really tried to real in folks in front of me and passed four of them! Final split was 9:09 (for the last 1.1 miles).
I think this is a PR for me (not that that means much since I think that I've now run nine 5K events).
