Run A Latke 5K - Swampscott

Nice downhill start out to Humphrey Street had the legs rolling quicker into mile 1, 6:39. I got some encouragement from a fellow competitor in the hills of Puritan running away from the Ocean views. A Soul Sister passed us. Mile two was on Humphrey Street (7:06) and I lost some strides to those two. Thought I would have a sprint from the church at the last hill for the last 400m but nadda, nothing. Mile 3 was a 7:08 split. GPS gave me 6:57 pace for the 5K for the 9th place finish but North Shore Timing mat to mat gave me seven even. Not bad.

Good spread of veggies, tuna, bagels, latke, et cetera inside. Photos by Krissy.
