Longest 5K
Monday September 10, 2007 // Share on Facebook
This past weekend I ran in the Letchworth 5K, known to me as the longest 5K race. Since I run with my Garmin, I’m able to track how far I actually run, compared to how the race officials measure the course. This time, it was 3.25 miles. Either way… still a hard race.
This was a 5K race, not a 5K run. There’s a big difference. I need to get into more races, if I want to do the Turkey Trot in 40 minutes.
You can see the course and details of my run here. My official time was 0:27:30 which is an 8:51 pace. I finished 76th overall, and 7th in the Male 20-29 group. Andy (now engaged!!!) crossed right behind me. Tom was with me for the first mile, then took off, finishing in 25:05, while his girlfriend kept up a 10:18 pace finishing in an even 32:00.
There’s another race at Delaware Park this weekend… I may do that to get more race experiences.
