alright winter series race #7 5 mi 00:30 05:59 pace

Tough race on a tough course. My main goal was sub-30 and I came in at 29:59. Success!
Last year, I ran the same race in 32:20 so I'm ecstatic about my improvement and content with where my training is at the moment.

Splits:
5:49
6:00
5:53
6:23 (crazy rolling hills straight into 20mph winds)
5:53

2 guys that I usually beat at these races got me today. Oh well.

    To knock off over two minutes on that course is awesome! That fourth mile was a definitely a tough one, but I would say you conquered it! Great race!

    Amy - yes. I knew if I didn't wear my watch, i wouldn't have pushed myself as hard as I did. Knowing that I had ~6:00 to finish the final mile helped me achieve my goal.
