5K Run
I turned in a blazing (for me) 5K of 31:30. The course was a little weird and I actually clocked 3.24 miles at 9:34 pace. My lungs felt great. My legs were not really ready to move fast. Interestingly, my heart rate averaged 164. Significantly higher than my training pace.
For my age:
Tempo 140-154 (where I usually am) 7.1%
Threshold 154-168 66.4%
Anaerobic >168 25.0%
I actually backed off when I saw numbers in the 170+ range. I am not about to have a heart attack during a charity 5K. Fun event with some great families.
Officially dubbed "The Caplans' Patriot Run 2023" they had t-shirts and medals, but with my race day registration, I did not get any of the goodies. Still nice to give $40 to charity.
My brother in law and my 8 year old nephew ran the race together finishing a few minutes behind me. I was very impressed by their effort.
Dropping in on a 5K was a nice testament to my training philosophy of being able to jump into any mainstream adventure without any special preparation.
