Clarendon Day 5k run
Today I ran my first road race in two years, a 5k that is part of Clarendon Day. John and I met up at 7.30 am and walked to the start, a few blocks from our apartment building.
The race went very well. The first mile was downhill over Wilson Boulevard, and we passed our house after a few minutes. At the first mile mark I saw that I was doing 6 minutes a mile -- clearly not sustainable -- and I slowed down afterwards but still ended with a personal record: 24:37 minutes. I managed to sprint the last 200 yards.
We went for drinks and breakfast at Whitlows on Wilson. A great morning.

Well done Guus! 24 Minutes is quite fast, respect...
This summer I was preparing for the new korfbal season, my PR for the 5K was 29:59 minutes.
