4th of July Race

I headed out to concord yesterday morning and did a 5 miler.  Weather was nice for this time of year - and we had a nice fast start: 6:36 - probably too fast.  Second mile I tried slowing down, but not too much: 7:09 - some uphill parts.  6:51 and 6:52 for the next 2 miles.  Kinda bunched up with some people at the end and had a good finish - 6:48 coming in.  Strava pace was 6:51 - 6:59 according to the official timing.  Either way I managed under 35 for the 5 miler.  It was hot coming in the last 2 miles - so i'm pretty happy with the effort.  Now a few days off before some running in Canada later this week.
