"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
