80 degrees and 87% humidity at 8:00a.m.?! I was hoping for a sub-30:00 5-mile, but the weather changed my goals. I ended up running 30:45 with splits of 6:07, 6:01, 6:09, 6:23, 6:05 for an average of 6:09/mile. The first couple of miles were OK. As I crossed the 2-mile marker, I was thinking that it was taking a lot more energy to run 6:00/mile than it should. The fourth mile included Cat Hill and was brutal. I usually don't grab water at the fluid stations, but I grabbed some on this day. I was so glad to finish this race.
