Random thought

When I started this blog I dubbed it "attack the hill" because that's what my friends told me to do while we climbed hills during our runs at college. 

It occurred to me this afternoon that the 5K I ran this morning, which dropped 300 feet over it's span, was the complete opposite of this blog's name.

Oh, irony.

"The Fastest 5K in Ohio"

First race since Pittsburgh.

This morning I ran the JK 5K with most of the staff of Camp Wesley, where I'm a counselor this summer. It's billed as the fastest 5K in Ohio. For good reason too. The course starts literally at the highest point in Ohio and pretty much drops a couple hundred feet over 3.1 miles.

The guy who won ran something like sub-5 minute splits. I don't care if you're in free fall, that's fast. I heard he passed the pace car at one point.

Here's my splits:

Mile 1: 6:48

Mile 2: 13:56

Finish: 22:50something (Hey, guess where the downhill stopped)

That's pretty much going to be the fastest 5K I'll ever run. So I guess the JK 5K lives up to it's name. But hey, how can you compete with a race that starts at the top of Ohio?

Next race: Probably the Pemberville 5-Miler
