I am all about the brights this spring/summer. In my opinion, bright matches bright. :) Congrats on a great race!

You beat me by a solid 3 minutes, so I too would kill for a sub-25 time.

You ran a really strong race and ...5Ks are a beast! You ran a really strong race and great time! <br />I need to figure out 5K tangents too. I have looked at my Garmin stats for 5Ks and thought "Damn, if I would have run the tangents that would have been a PRE by :xx seconds!" Sigh. It's really frustrating. But not for too long. 5Ks are my toughest race because they hurt so much so I don't feel too bad about them after. I just felt bad at my 5K goal race in Feb because I felt like I wasted Britt's time coming out (50 miles) to watch me run! <br />It looks like you guys had a fun time :) <br />(What is the new commenting system you are using?

I will have to give this a try next time. I think there are going to be a ton of bloggers at the RNR. Can't wait!!! :)<br /><br />Thanks!!Kelly @ Running Kellometershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15261285599296693612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005464141741044836.post-57720228867451489322012-06-15T10:10:27.858-05:002012-06-15T10:10:27.858-05:00I know, right?

I experienced the same thing with my Garmin In the 5k last weekend. I always have it on avg pace and was having trouble believing it was saying 7:40 for the 2nd and 3rd miles. I thought no way I'm going that speed, it feelt like 7:20, alas it was correct :) I'm thinking of making my garmin do half mile or quarter splits for the next 5k so I have a more accurate idea of my pace for next time. Im also super excited for RnR in a month. <br /><br />Congrats on a strong 5k!!Xaarlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09103441780159368391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005464141741044836.post-7062420393551868702012-06-15T09:55:27.420-05:002012-06-15T09:55:27.420-05:00Damn Garmins, always ruining a perfectly good race...Damn Garmins, always ruining a perfectly good race!!!
