Comments:

As it turned out, Jackie and I had lined up pretty close to the front. When the start went, so did we!! I made it to the first turn and realized the HR was way too high and the pace was in the mid 6's and tried to back it down. Settled into a comfortably hard pace that I thought I could hold until late in the run where I hoped to pick it up for the finish. Made the turn around and headed back towards the finish and made the effort to start picking it up some, but looking at the mile splits, the effort was not rewarded with pace! At the last 1/4 mile or so, really went into a sprint and finished a second or 2 under my previous PR. All in all a good run, just hoping to be rewarded for the high mileaage recently with a time closer to 23 minutes. Still plenty of fall races coming up to try again.

What would you do differently?:

I'm not sure if the quick start really hurt me that much. I probably could have pushed a bit more in the 2nd and 3rd miles.
Post race
Warm down:

Found Jackie and found some food! Pretty nice layout for a 5K. Jackie had a great race!!! I had to head out pretty quick after the race for work.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

It was a PR, so I am pleased.
