5K race day. Lots of kids and young people back from college for Thanksgiving. This year’s race was a record — well over 3000 people. It’s great that so many people are up and out for some exercise, but with all the families it doesn’t make for a “race” where you can realistically target a time.
Every year I think I’m going to try to get near the front. Never seems to work out. There were people pushing strollers that started near the front. Whatever.
Today’s run was a 3.1 mile mildly rolling route. Overall pace was 8:40. The first mile was probably 9:30 to 10:00 at best. Utter chaos on the road until you can get clear.
