happy to get a gift basket again after last year's debacle (stomach death)

heart rate still high as fu*k in 5k's lately.
this is such a huge local race lmao. like 2k+ people.



i didn't look at my watch at all.. which was surprising given the last two splits being EXACT. I thought I was going faster than I was though because of what it said at the 2 mile marker.
all good though.. just glad i didn't have a train wreck race. first time that's happened at this race. every other year has been a debacle.. i think because i put too much thought it - it being my "home town" race & such.
anyway, happy how i ran tbh.. went out with the leaders but just didn't feel the best, so found a slower gear at ~5:52 min/mi (without looking at my watch) and just held it.
went to a brazilian steakhouse later and ate so much food.. the desert really did me in: brazilian cheesecake + 3 scoops of ice cream.
