great 5k race 3.1 mi 00:19 06:07 pace

Actual time: 18:58
I guess it's time to set a new goal for 2009. I achieved one of them (a sub 19:00 5k) 3 days into the year.
The course was super, super hilly and I had a guy running right with me (a little too close as we were bumping shoulders) the whole time until I passed him on the final straight. My first race in my racing flats and I shed 39 secs. from my last 5k 2 weeks ago.
When I saw the clock at the end and realized that I could break 19:00, I gave it all that I could and sprinted like I had a brown bear chasing after me.
Finished 7th overall.

    Nice race Matthew. I can honestly say that I don't know if I can run a 5k that fast.
