3M in 18:18
First race of any sort in two years. It was fun to race again! I've missed it. Weekends are still very busy with childcare responsibilities, so it is hard to squeeze in a race. But I can see the trajectory of that gradually getting easier, so something to look forward to in the future.
Based on my track workouts, I thought I could probably have run under 6:00/mile, and I suspect I probably could have but...man, I screwed up those splits. My sense of pacing has faded as I've raced less and done less quality. I caught my 1st mile split and then timed my 3rd mile: 5:38, 6:30, 6:10. If I had managed to go out in 5:59 I bet I could have done it. Oh well, hopefully won't be another 2 years before I get to try again.
