5 k
21:03
6:47 Pace
This was a chilly day to be wearing shorts. But I figured I'm only running a few miles. Temps were in the 20's with a strong wind, and I didn't know the route at all.
The race starts with a steep uphill, and winds around the neighborhoods of the Mews Tavern. It was all reasonable until mile 2.75, where runners practically stopped to climb a ridiculous hill just before the finish. I kept my pace until then, and was happy with my progress. Having picked it up knowing the end was near, I was now just concentrating on keeping my heart rate under control and under 200. I made it up the hill and cruised down to the finish.
The post race party was one of the best I've seen for a 5k. Lots of food, lots of beer, and lots of people sticking out the cold. Definitely a race to visit again next year.
