I ran the Knoxville Expo 5k this morning. My plan was to go out and run a hard 2 miles to see where my time was for 2 (my next duathlon is 2/10/2) and then hopefully hold on for a decent 5k time. I was quitely hoping for under 20 minutes although I really didn't think I was at that speed. The first mile went about as planned, though, in 6.19 but I fell off the pace in mile two which contained a 2-3/10 mile hill that was unexpected. Mile 2 = 6.59. And then I ran a 7.23 mile 3 with a .29 second finishing tenth for a 21.10 time. Slower, much, than I had hoped but I finished 3/22 in my age group (and got 2nd medal as #1 was a masters winner) and 19/377 overall. Not too bad considering my longest run in the last 8 weeks has been 4 miles!
