Who can guess my 5k time ??
Ran a 5k this past weekend in a high school alumni race. About 13 or so schools from around the area participated in the event, and there were 9 “scoreable” teams. In order to count as a scoreable squad, you had to have at least 5 team members. The top 5 times from each team were scored based on age and gender, and the winning team was decided by adding the age/gender-based scores together.
We placed second out of nine teams with only 5 runners... and the funny thing too is that I didn’t even run XC in High School 😂
I’ve always been an athlete, but never a runner. I’ve just always been able to push myself to my limits because I have mental toughness when it comes to physical activities bearing extreme pain and discomfort.
Our first place guy won the event with a 15:27, who I should also mention, is training for Olympic trials and currently running track and XC at Mississippi State. Second place for our team ran a 17:03, third 19:40, fourth 19:58, and then I came in.
Who wants to take a stab at guessing my 5k time? Let it be known that I have only ran a handful of 5ks in my lifetime, but also take into consideration what I said before.

21 minutes. Anything under 27.5 is decent in my books.

Crypti! Pretty solid guess! I’ll give a little bit more time to others and see if a few stragglers wanna comment their guesses too

Wow that's really good. Always happy if I can run it in under 25. Then again I hate running.

Given your fitness level @conradsuperb, I guess your time was 24 minutes.
I went out in 20:16 for this showing !!
