running race 26:28 4.99 km (5:18 / km) ahr:168 max:180
The first race in the NoLaw 5K series.
This was fun, kind of. The course is flat. The first 3K is in the sun and it was hot today. I ran 7:45 for the first mile, then slowed a bit for the second, and then felt like I was overheating as I struggled to the finish. The last 2K had some shade and felt much better, but I was toast by then. The last 800 meters was slow. I took several short walking breaks.
Anyways, fun but tough and the time is kind of distressing. But, it is the time I deserve.
I'm pretty sure my last road race was in the early 1990s. I'm guessing my last race might have been a 5K in KCK.
Dinner at Rudy's with Blair, Gene and Mary afterwards.
