Law Day 5k. First goal was to be the fastest lawyer. I did that by six seconds and won a gavel. Second goal was to go 5:40 up and 4:50 down. Epic fail. First mile 5:43 (112 ft up), second mile 5:55 (net 80 up), third mile 5:28 (177 down) and 5:02 pace to the finish. My legs never felt great. Not an easy course with a 230 ft ascent before descending but more than anything I just never felt strong. I led the race until about mile 2 and then a guy passed me and beat me by 15 seconds. Perhaps I left my fast mile at memory grove on Wednesday. The start was botched with the guy gaveling before we got to the start line and I basically got a running start. Didn't cool down but I will probably get out for another run today.
