5k - new PB -
Now, a few details. The race started in the evening, which was a bit unusual for me since I usually prefer training and competing in the first half of the day. Well, I had a slightly bigger lunch than necessary, so instead of starting on an empty stomach, I came to the race properly fueled - running with a full stomach is not the best feeling, but they call it experience.
The start was at 6:50 PM, and there had already been a few races before that. The atmosphere was amazing, with a lot of participants and spectators. The heat from the afternoon hadn't subsided yet, and you could feel it on the track.
Right from the start, I was running at the back of the pack, trying to maintain a pace of around 1:20 per lap, but I managed to do that for only three or four laps. After that, my pace started to drop significantly.
Interestingly, the start was in a very crowded group, which felt uncomfortable and unfamiliar. I had to take shorter steps, not in my usual stride, just to avoid stepping on others' feet and maintain a minimal distance.
By the middle of the race, I found myself running with a group of girls, and we practically finished together.
In the end, I finished 18th out of 21 men in my race and approximately 26th among all participants that evening, improving my personal record by 6 seconds. The position in the race may not be impressive, but personally, it only gave me a boost of motivation. I realized how many fast guys were around me, and it will make me strive even harder to improve my performance.
The next planned races are a skyscraper run next Saturday and a 10k race at the Vilnius Half Marathon next Sunday.
