Over to the Northampton 5k, finally! Registered myself and went out to warm up, ran into Sanjay out there, and he showed me the first lap of the course, at least. Left hamstring tight.

And the race! Started out for the first mile right around Sanjay and Paul, then went a bit quicker than them the second mile, although I bet our third mile splits were pretty even, felt Iike I was fading a bit (there's also a big hill in the 3rd mile, so some excuse for uneven splits!) I ran most of the race in 3rd, but a guy passed me right at the end.

Splits: 5:54, 5:53, 7:08
(so last bit was at 6:28 pace! definite fading, although I'd give 15 seconds of it to the hill)

So, at this race, they keep track of records for each age on the course. The F26 record is 17.56. Hmmmm. Possible? Unsure. Would have to be sometime next summer probably, there's only a few more this fall.

C • My best on that course is 1... 7

Little loop with Sanjay and Paul, chattin'.
