Run The Woodlands 5K #121 Race Report
A nice cool morning for running helped turn in my 3rd best 5K ever (29:24.34), my third best scored run overall (52.7) and the second drop in 5K time this year since the Seven Hills Running Club Resolution Run 5K last Saturday morning.
I felt like I got off a tad bit fast, but nothing like last Sunday. I was just short of the 1-mile mark, looked at my watch and saw 8:50-something. I thought it was too fast, but I crossed at 9:19. Most of mile two felt good, but I was a little disappointed when I saw 18:57 or 9:38 in mile two.
From mile 2 to the 2.3-mile turn down Crownridge, it is a slight uphill. I tried to push here because it is a place where I get fatigued a little bit. I did good here and tried to maintain a good pace on a very slight downhill to the turn in into the school parking lot.
Here at about mile 2.95, I looked at my watch and saw 27:50-something. I thought that I still might have a chance to crack 29 minutes, but I've realized that I have to be at 28-flat or better at the mile 3 marker to have that opportunity.
I finished in 29:24.34 on my stopwatch; 29.22, officially. (Once the official results are posted later this morning, I'll revish this post with some news and notes.)
Time now to relax and focus on next Sunday -- what I've been waiting for since this past June: the hp Houston Marathon.
