My first time placing in a race. I finished 3rd in my weight category (200lbs+). Also, the first time with an official sub 30 minute 5K, which has been a goal for a while. The race went great, a bit hard to get to a good pace at the beginning as expected when there are almost 1500 people on the course, but after 1K, I found a good place where I was able to maintain my own pace. The hill on Westmount surprised me, but it was good to know that I'd be turning around and running down it very soon. Was glad to see the 4K marker, and really pushed it for the final 400m around the track. Definitely surprising for me that the race was so quick, I haven't done a race under 10K since April 2010. So excited for my performance, now to work on moving up in the ranks!
