Ran a 5K yesterday. It was an official one with chip timing so I was curious as to how it would compare to the unofficial Pumpkin 5K PR time I got last year (*20:57).
Anyways, I went in line to get my race shirt and bib/chip but it was so stupid. They combined lines so I was in a long one, and it took forever. I had to quickly get my stuff back to my car and then quickly go to the starting line.
Then, I got to the starting line and didn't go up all the way to the front, so it was all crowded at the beginning.
Anywho-- I ran my first mile in 6:33 I think and felt good. There were hills though which kinda killed me. Ended up with a time of 21:04.
I think I've gotten faster, just based on this race, so I'll be looking forward to my upcoming Pumpkin 5K time (flat, not-so-crowded Pumpkin 5K, ahhh...)
