another 5K, another race recap…
It was Saturday the 12th, a very humid morning, but overcast. I did manage to run the first mile (which is ALWAYS my goal) so the first mile time was 10:08.
Then the humidity kicked in. I walked. I walked more than I wanted to. I completed the second mile in 12:24 & the third in 12:46. Not bad splits, but that was with quite a bit of walking. 😦 Total time: 36:44.4. This was totally opposite of a personal best. this was my personal WORST! I’m so disappointed as I came off a really good training run two nights before. But I guess that’s what my downfall was. The run was at night. It was not humid. ~sigh~
Of my age group (F 35-39) I was 13 out of 20.
Hubby ran this one with me as well. He finished in 28:13.7, 11th in his age group out of 16.
The good thing with this course is that I can run it when time permits, but probably not a regular lunch time run. That is all. Good day.
Humidity is a killer! I think you did well all things considered. I have real problems running when it humid outside; it just sucks all the life right out of me. All races should be from Fall to Spring, methinks!
