President Cup 5K Night Race. 22:17, splits 7:15, 7:05, 7:57. Very hot and humid, 85F, 80% humidity. Strong thunderstorm and downpour just 10 min. before the race, so it was steaming when we ran. The start was very congested, it took me quarter mile just to speed up to my pace. That's why first mile was 7:15. The course had one long moderate hill, about quarter mile long and we had to go through it twice. Generally I felt good and strong, despite the weather. But the second time going up that hill certainly got the wind out of me and I slsowed down a lot after it. Still, considering the conditions, it was an OK race. Definitely a better effort than a week ago, when it was cool and totally flat and I ran 22:20 (although there was some headwind there). |
