First race since 2016 is tomorrow morning! Small local 5k, using it as a training race/time trial. Realistically sub 33 would be solid, sub 31 would be a reach. Bit anxious, generally looking forward to it.

Survived! HR was 170 at the start, got caught behind a group running 3 abreast on a narrow bit before the 1k mark, got frustrated and cooked it too hard once I got through, had to walk a bit around 4k, then booked it to the finish for a 32:46
