5k on track

I looked forward to the energy of the annual Spring 5,000 on the track -- 100 or so runners together in the 17:00 minute to 18:30 anticipated-time heat.  Last year I felt like I was carried along by the pack to a comfortable 17:52 (even after running an 18:45, ten minutes earlier in the previous heat).

This year I run too fast in the first 400 meters and struggle - much of it by myself -- as you can see here --->

Result is a disappointing 17:57.

My bicycle has sat inside a bike bag on my front porch since last October, unused other than during November's Laguna Phuket Triathlon.

I decided I wanted to try new things.  

And so I pivot to rock climbing
