5th Avenue Mile - Demonstrates improvements

This year my goal for the 5th Avenue Mile was simply to break 6 minutes. I have run this race now three times -

1. Right after my daughter was born - first time I'd put on my shoes - I ran 6:42
2. Last year - I ran 5:51
3. This year - 5:44 official time

I am very pleased with the result. It felt more like cruising then really sprinting and in other years the hills had felt very, very hard relative to my expectations. Now with all this hill running I peeled them away more or less without worry.

There's not much to write about a mile race - so I'll let the chart from Training Peaks do most of the talking:
Love the heart rate graph, looks like something from an algebra course! Approaching maximum capacity
