My first trial in a triathlon race is coming next week, and I decided to run the “Tortoise and the Hare 5k Run/Walk” competition just to combine my running training with some kind of race experience.

The official results are here : Overall Results | Results by Group

I finished 17th overall out of 104, 16th of Male Runners and only 2nd in my age group (35-39).

According to the official results, I finished in 20 min 48 seconds at a pace of 4:10 min/km. Somehow, these stats do not fall in line with my GPS data (see fitness log), but I will accept them :)

I am pretty happy considering I have been running only 3 weeks. Not sure I could do better even with months of additional training though…
