Ran 5 miles total in 37:16
0.5 miles warmup. Failed to hit the lap button at the end of the warmup, So the first half mile of the race was on the split with the warm-up. Therefore, I had to estimate the time of the first half mile based on the average pace of 0.1 mi increments on the Garmin Training Center display. Estimated the first 0.5 mi at 3:35. Adding that to the splits of 6:49, 6:23 and 3:53 (for the final 0.6 mi) makes the estimate race time of 20:40 on the hilly course beginning and ending at Turner Field in Atlanta. The course runs up through Georgia State Campus, the Fulton County admin building and the State Capitol. Actually ran it as a tempo run targeting 6:50 pace. 20:40 averages to 6:40 pace. Even more please b/c it followed a longish run of 15 miles the day before. The weather was really good. It was a balmy 68 degrees at race time with a slight breeze that made it feel cool on the course. The race wasn't officially timed. So the result cannot be confirmed.
