5K Masters Championships

Mon, 9/24/18-took day off. A bit tired from the drive to and from Buffalo.

Sun, 9/23/18-5K Masters Championships in Buffalo.

The race course was a double loop on a golf course. It turned out to be long at 3.21M. Several runners were talking about if, after looking at their watches following the race.

My thought was to try to run 3:40 per kilometer. I also thought I might run 6:00 at the mile and then increase my speed over miles 2 and 3. As it turns out, I hit mile 1 in 5:47, mile 2 in 6:01, and mile three in 6:11. I ran the final .21 in about 63 seconds. The 19:02 was disappointing, but it's something to work with. After all, it was 5:56 per mile over 3.21M.

Great time hanging out with my teammates. The drive up and back was made more bearable by Neill Clark, my co-pilot and roommate.
