GSLS 5K- Jankiest 5K Ever

April 22, 2018 (Afternoon)

Exercise Type: Run

Weather: 60s

Comments:
Did I actually run a 16:44 lol? Not sure, but MapMyRun isn't working, so I'll just log it for now.

This was the jankiest 5K I've ever run. We started off at the Auditorium and crossed the street immediately, while cars were coming so I started at a jog. Then I followed a buddy of mine who was pacing on a moped. I won the race in the first 50 meters, so it was just me and pacing moped. I kept passing the moped, as he kept driving through grass and sidewalks trying to stay with me. Eventually before 1K he went back to the rest of the runners and I was on my own.

This race never felt hard at all. I was on my own having a fun time. The course was pretty horribly marked, but I was able to figure it out. In the last 1K, I had to cross farm lane and I got stopped for 10 seconds by car smh and then I just kept a solid pace to the finish. It was my first time breaking tape (tape that was attached to garbage cans, but I'll take it) and I won by 4 or 5 minutes lol. I felt completely fine finishing, still unsure of whether it was actually a 5K or not.

Splits:

1K: 3:16
2K: 6:53
3K: 10:07
4K: No where to be found?
5K: 16:44.50

Solid day, good workout. There were no medals or anything though, so RIP. But at least everyone in GSLS thinkings I'm fast. So ayyyyyyyyye.
