5K Results (3.1 miles)

[ttdriver]

A PR (personal record) for me today in the 5k Tampa Police Memorial Run: 30:36 finish time, 9:51 pace per mile! Never been under 10 minutes ever before, so I am PSYCHED!

Next up: a sub 30 minute 5k! Not too bad of an achievement for a soon-to-be 51 year old late bloomer!

Was it a well attended race?

Thanks, Rich!

Yes, there were over 700 people participating. About 300 more than last year. The weather was great too .. right around 70 at the start with a refreshing breeze along the waterfront.

Good luck to you tomorrow!

You are so lucky - having 70 degree near the beach races near you. As you can imagine the 30 degree and wind weather at start we are having isn't quite as nice. Awesome job on setting a new PR! That has to stimulate you to keep trying and not rest on your laurels? What is your next race?

What is your next race?

Next up is the Turkey Trot 10k on Thanksgiving morning .. then the Gulf Beaches 1/2 Marathon on Dec 10 (really looking forward to that one!) followed by the Walt Disney World Full Marathon (yep, 26.2 miles) on January 7th!

Yes, I have my work cut out for me!

Thanks, y'all!
