Summer Spray 5K in Baldwin. On a USATF certified course but they shortened by not going around all the medians at the north-end turnaround.
Not used to racing this summer, so the first mile was real-heavy breathing. Got used to the hard effort halfway through. Nice to have a 12 year old keep pace; we yoyoed back and forth. I accidentally cut him off from getting his water drink at about 1.5 miles. They set the aid station on the corner and I was rounding the corner tight. I apologized to him.
So, if I can't get my times down, then the new pace is 8:00 instead of 7:30 for 5Ks. Many walkers, so 1st M60 - wasn't impossible.
