2016 Trinity 5000 Summer Series Week 4

6.23.16

week 4.

I've really enjoyed the time Griffin and I get every week for this event.  The little guy is hooked.

We arrived to temps in the mid 90's.

Griffin wanted me to run the 1k with him, so I did.  It was a good warm up for the 5k.

I felt heavy legged and tired at the start of the 5k, and knew it might be a slow night.  I posted a slow 8:58 mile 1.  That would have been fine had I sped up for miles 2 and 3, but...not so much.  Just after the turn I saw Griffin.  The little guy looked strong and was having a great run.  I posted an embarrassingly slow 9:15 for mile 2.  at about 2.25, I began to gain on Duane and Jason, both running clydesdale.  I passed Jason, but, couldn't catch Duane.  I took 2nd in the Clydesdale group for the 2nd straight week.

I headed back to get Griffin and found him running at a good pace.  He finished strong and set a new 5k PR at 34:26.  A great run!!

Griffin:
week 1:  37:31
week 2:  47:16
week 3:  42:27
Week 4:  34:26

Derek:
week 1:  27:40
week 2:  27:24
week 3:  27:34
week 4:  27:42
We stuck around and socialized until the fireworks at 9:30.  Griffin is making some friends at the race series.  Fun night.
