The bank tower said 95F on my way over to register for this race so I wasn't sure what to expect. I felt a PR (<19:28) might be possible even with the heat as I've been running well lately.

I started out fast but under control and felt reasonably comfortable after the first mile. Second mile was tough but I was able to keep it together. Last mile really sucked. The heat definitely got to me. For a few minutes I forgot about the PR and thought about walking but I was able to hold on and kick to the finish.

Crossed the line at exactly 19:00 gun time. Official results aren't up yet but I should gain a few seconds when they net it out.

Splits ended up 6:05, 6:11, 6:25. New PR by about 30 seconds (pending official results). Great race overall especially considering the heat.

    Good things must share to the store to buy a lot of things that are impossible to find fault with, regardless of quality or style, are the best.

    Thanks all. Official results are in, chip time was 18:58, so a nice 30 second PR. Probably won't run anymore road 5ks until things start to cool down in the fall.
