most awful 5k ever

118.Will Vuona Philadelphia,PA 99 M 31:02 9:59 97/160

the best time was 21:14... most 5k winners are in the 15-16 minute area so that's a pretty good indicator of how tough this one was. the first mile was mostly uphill and i burned myself out too fast there on a quick 8:30 pace. the second mile had a few climbs and i lost a ton of time on a ~12 minute pace. the third mile was mostly downhill and i picked up a lot of time and energy for a final sprint.

my final time was more like 30:30, according to my clock. more training to do!

p.s. fuckers typo'ed my last name and lost my age.
