5/6

Ran the 5k.

24:13. Clearly not happy with that.
Finished 2nd in my age group out of 23.
20th overall (male and female) out of 380.

If I had known what the course was and the race was I wouldn't have picked this one.  Basically, about half the people were women who had never run a 5k before who were pretty much walking a 5k and then a huge group of about 12 year olds.  The start of the race was over a narrow bridge followed by a turning path to get down along the river.

I ended up being the last person to start (I'm not good at pushing my way to the front) and was over a 1:30 behind the first person who started (didn't matter because it was chip time).  But, I couldn't get around people for the first half mile because people were walking 4 across the path and not moving.  And then stupid kids wouldn't let you go around them because they have no race etiquette and kept cutting me off then walking.  

There also weren't any mile markers so I had no clue where I was pace wise until the turn around.

12:21 for the first 1.5 miles.
11:53 for the last 1.5 miles.

After getting around a lot of people I ended up running the second half of the race by myself (since the front people had a 1:30 head start).

So, who knows.  Maybe I am that slow. Maybe it was the conditions.  I'd like to try and redo a 5k at some point.  My calves and ankles hurt from the DUs and I'm just complainy today. haha.
