I ran a 5k race today. The official event title was “MEC LOWER MAINLAND: ROAD RACE SIX, GARRY POINT PARK 5K / 10K / 21.1K.”
I had a bit of a bad race at Garry Point Park last year and swore I would never do it again. The race route runs alongside the ocean and last year there was a very strong wind blowing that was tough to run into on the way out and then robbed me of cooling on the way back. I ran a miserable race. I changed my mind about never doing it again, though, and decided I would enjoy the challenge.
As it turns out, there was no wind challenge. Surprisingly, there was only a light breeze this year. I ran an excellent race, pushing very hard the whole way. My time was actually a little worse than last year’s, though. I was in better shape last year and a few pounds lighter, so it was to be expected. I was pretty happy to do the 5k in 24:10.
