I ran a 15k race today.
The course was beautiful, and I did really well for myself in the first hour. I passed the 5k mark at exactly 37:00 minutes, which is a really good time for current me :)
But then around 57 minutes, the course crossed a train track - and a train was coming, really slowly at that, so I had to stop there and wait for several minutes. That kind of broke my rhythm and my spirit too.
I had not had particularly high expectations for my finishing time, this was my first 15k in many years after all, but honestly I had hoped to finish a little bit faster than I ended up finishing. 1 hour, 58 minutes and 9 seconds.
I'm not complaining though, my goal was to run/jog all the way without walking, and I succeeded in that, and it was a beautiful race, so all is well :)
5k: 37:00 - 10k: 76:43 - 15k: 118:09
