Sunday AM 5k warm up, drills, strides, 30 second hard effort, some jogging and more strides, Race Hangover Classic 5k, 1st place 15:25, 4:56, 4:59, 4:56. From the front. great weather but it was windy. Wind may have cost me 10 seconds or a bit more but I wasn't strong enough to crack 15 today. Got a good effort out though. 4 miles cool down with Whirlaway crew.
Summary ~95 miles, two good workouts, one ok race. Would like to be faster. I guess that is always true. I shouldn't really expect more for where I'm at but I still do. I'll take it however as a starting point.
I'll do a track 5k in 6 or 7 weeks and hopefully be able to crack 15 by then. I expect if I did some specific work I could get there pretty quick but frankly I'm not in a place to be getting specific. Time to work general fitness and try to get actual fit not sharp. I think six to 10 weeks like this and I'll be getting there.
