pretty good for my first 5K.  got in under 30 which was my goal.  very hot sun for first 1/2 and found that a bit tough.  hardly any breeze.  also tough to try to get around all the walkers - not sure why they were in the 25-30 min category!  felt like I could have gone a lot further - but not that much faster.  next race will be a 10K!

Way to break 30! That's awesome. I was trying to break 22 today, but didn't quite make it. Keep up the good work.

Way to go Neek!!! Broke the 30 min mark which is pretty sweet. That a huge race for a first race- can be intimidating in a race with that many people.

You'll find oince you start getting into the speedwork it will increase your leg turnover and endurnance. Congrats!!
