Race: Clarence Robinson Invitational (3.107 Miles) 00:15:13, Place overall: 3, Place in age division: 3

Today raced my first 5K of the season. The goal was to get as close to 15:00 as possible. I started out in 4:44 for the first 1600, and then ended up with 8:59 at 3000. I then hung on for dear life - the last 2000 was 6:14, so 5:00 pace on the dot. With two laps to go, I slipped from 3rd to 4th place. I thought I wasn't going to catch 3rd place, but apparently he spent all of his energy passing me. I found another gear in the last 300m and regained 3rd place as we turned onto the home stretch.

This is a solid 5K PR for me, and it was nice to place in a race were I've typically been mid-pack.
