It's a 5k (actually 3.65 miles) and I treated it as (1) a fun time and (2) to test a fast pace
I set the goal to be under a 10 minute mile pace...perhaps I was not aggressive enough...ended up as a 8:32 minute per mile pace....feel great about that one.
And then I saw the results...I was placed 503 / 3168 females...which means I was Top 16%.
Wow! Yes I'll concede this might be a fun corporate run, but still you always get the crazy fast pacers in any race, so I am super chuffed that I was so high in the rankings.
Now I have to train to keep a fast pace...with distance....after doing a bike and swim.
General Training Update
General training has picked up now. Joined a power cycling class that I'm trying to do 2x per week and also joined a swim masters class (the 1x per month in San Diego or a race was not going to cut it) and let's see what I get in the schedule.
Running seems to be more fun lately - varying up routines with intervals and locations by driving to new cities and trails to explore.
I'm telling myself to do more core and strength and flexibility...if I keep telling myself I might get to it...
60 days to go!
