Fritz reminded me yesterday that I'd signed up for a 5k with a free promotion he'd given me. My SI joint and lower back were bugging and I expected some trouble like the terrible Sugar House 5k I had done. The race went surprisingly well. I got out feeling like I was running pretty easy, never pushing the pace. The first two miles were faster than expected. 6:06 with 72 up and 26 down and then 5:55 with 90 down. The third mile I continued not to push and got a 6:35 with 78 up and 50 down. After the third mile clicked off, I finally pushed the pace going uphill and ran 5:35 pace to the finish with 33 up. Short cool down and I left before awards. Not sure if I got anything but Fritz will let me know at some point.
I warmed up 1.2 before the race and cooled down 1.2 after.
1.48 miles from Rice Eccles to 11th Ave and V Street.
