AM: Zippy 5k, 16:03, 13th place - 13 miles
I went with the NBSV team to the Zippy 5k, which is a little misleading because it's kind of a slow course. It starts with a long climb up for the first 1.5+ miles before shooting back down the same hill, more or less. I missed the button on my watch, so I missed the first mile split and had no sense of what pace we were running (actual splits: 5:18, 5:17, 4:50). I let a little bit of space grow between teammates Nick and Dale, thinking I'd make it up on the downhill. While I did re-pass some guys going downhill, I couldn't quite make it back to them. We followed up the effort with a long cooldown around Brisbane.
I generally don't like racing 5k on the road, especially on Sunday because it throws off my long run. After a year in the wilderness, however, I just need to get racing again, and that's what today was all about.
