This was the last of this series of races. I am very happy with the outcome. All the other races in this series took over an hour. I could have pushed a bit harder and gotten a PR, but I have a 4-hour session with the 50-pound pack tomorrow.

I did the first 5K with a target heart rate of 170. I pushed that to 175 for mile 4 and to 180 for miles 5 and 6. I was a bit over 180 by the end of 6 and pushed over 190 for the .2 for the finish. This worked fairly well.

There wasn't much wind at the start, but it increased to over 10 mph by the end of the race. My hands were a touch cold at the start, but were no problem by the second 5K. I was considering adjusting the jacket during the final two miles. I might have been happier with a long sleeve tech shirt instead of the jacket, but I'm quite happy as it was.

[Reported distances were a bit weird. I will have to look into this more. I'm only showing the manual data and no calculations.]
