Today was the WPLR 99.1 Shamrock and Roll 5k in New Haven. Justin and Drew came down from Rhode Island to race with me and Shawn came for support (since he isn't allowed to run anymore).
After a nice warm up we wished each other luck and headed to the start to lineup. I headed towards the front but that didn't seem to help as when the gun went off there were a ton of people to pass and avoid. Since I'm super familiar with this course, and since 5ks are run so hard there isn't much to write about. I just got in a zone and took off. As with the previous 5k, I had no real kick at the very end (something to work on for future races). Total time for today was 21:47 with splits of 7:12, 7:02, 6:38. No PR today - but I'll take it considering I ran 45+ miles since past Sunday. Race #1 of the CT USATF series complete...next one up in the series is Greater Hartford Quarter Marathon on April 3rd in West Hartford.
Race Times:
Me - 21:42
Justin - 23:58
Drew - 24:59
Leah - 20:43
Matt - 17:55
Dan - 21:05
Debby - 24:50
Dawn - 26:09
Betsey - 29:03
Fun times today - celebrated with some adult beverages and a burger.
