5 miler report

I never wrote about the 5 miler I did back in September, so here it goes:

The weather was horrific: 30-40 mph winds with torrential rain. Probably some of the worst conditions you could expect for a September weekend.

By the time I was on the line, I was cold and felt a little crazy for being out there.

The race got off and I was fast, it was hard not to be. So much adrenaline and energy just sitting around in the rain.

During some hilly portions of the course I felt really good and passed some people-----running hills around my house prepped me well.

My goal was to negative split the course and I did! Avg'd 7:26 min/miles which is pretty decent considering how long its been since I raced and the weather.
