Bodyweight@session : ???
Soreness : still abductors. or is it hamstrings from uphill sprints?I don't know
Injuries/aches : none
Dew point : 20'C ( 21'C / 90%RH )
RACE DAY : 5KM @ 25'20''
Meh! That is actually 1 second slower than last year at the same race, so i am disappointed although it is practically the same time so it ties my 
I got into block 1 after all, wasn't that hard either, just talked the (volunteer) guard into letting me and he was fine with it.
I started the race very fast, i was keeping sub 5' km pace with ease, felt i was buffering too. Around 1.5km i was accelerating a bit, I realized it is too fast but still felt fine, just slowed down a bit to keep some reserves for the finish. Then suddenly, around 2 and 2.5 km i got too tired, too fast, boom! Third km was a disaster ( 1st 4'53'' , 2nd 4'59'' , 3rd 5'27'' ). 4th i was just struggling in an 'oh well, shit happens' state, felt i can't go back to 5' pace, just grinded it in 5'20'' , then for the last i went apeshit and run with all i had ( afraid i was gonna fall some point ) and did 4'45'' , which is actually an in-race lone km 
I will blame the horrible dew point for the failure. It was 90% humidity, it was actually visible in the night lights. That is also verified by my overall results:
I got #235 overall / #13 at my age group. Last year with the same time i was #296 overall / #20 age group. FWIW last years dew point was an awesome 8' ( same temperature but 45% humidity ).
Still disappointed , my main goal was to break 25' and the least accepted success was to run a 5K PR, even by 1 second. Failed both.
Oh well, it is what it is. Better luck next year.

nice to see you got into block 1. i figured you would. volunteers are usually pretty nice about that stuff.
damn your splits were all over the place. way to battle it out - that last km especially

, not easy to do when you're struggling a few km prior.
sounds like you def ran a PR level race given the conditions. maybe do a few more throughout the year.
good work man! way 2 battle it out.
pc!
