Race Report: Purple Stride Austin 5K

Up Saturday morning at 7am.  I met up with Lauren about 8:10, and together we waited for the race to start at 8:30.  Temps were in the low 70's with high humidity, and the sun was beginning to rise high in the clear sky - it was pretty warm.  But the race went well!  Some of the hills were tough, but overall I was very pleased with my performance.  I forgot to turn off my watch when I crossed the finish line, so I don't have an precise race time (& they haven't posted the official results yet), but the race clock read 40:20 as I finished, and I crossed the start line approx. 5 seconds after the clock started, so I'm going with a time of 40:15.

The Day's Stats:
  • 3.1mi run; 40:15min; 12:59min/mi pace - Pretty darn good!
  • Purple Stride  - remember that I forgot to turn off the watch...
  • 0.9mi "cool-down run" - to get to a total 4mi training run for the day
