St. Jude/Jason Federman 5K

15:32, 1st Place Overall

1-07-2006, 7:15 AM; Sunrise, FL (Marham Park) / 44-degrees
Splits- 5:03, 10:06 (5:02), 15:00 (4:54), :31

A solid workout. Bypassed a workout earlier in the week in favor of this low-key race, which was for a great cause. Even better, my wife won the Women's Overall Title in 20:21, and my little brother captured 2nd place overall in 16:45. It was pretty much a Rodriguez-dominated event as we infiltrated the small town of Sunrise.

Anyway, my goal was to at least run 10K pace, which I pretty much did. We headed out into a 14 mph headwind on the out-and-back course, so I was disappointed at my opening mile, but I was working well. Hit the turnaround strongly and had some solid running between 2-2.75 miles. Had no struggle the entire race and felt strong and in command, so I was very pleased. Race turned out to be a good rust-burner, and was pleased with an excellent week of training at 91 miles.

Next race will be the Audi Scholarship 10K in Parkland, FL, on Sunday, January 15th. Will be aiming for a sub-31:30, as of now.
