Hobbler 5k Melody

This course is notoriously long, but due to construction it was a little short today.  My Garmin measured the 5k course at 3.05.  It starts out with a really steep climb then a more gradual steady climb for the next 1.5 miles.  After that we were rewarded with a steep downhill followed by a gradual downhill to flat finish.  I was in the lead for the women the whole way, but there was a speedy high schooler not far behind me that kept me motivated.  These 5ks are not getting any easier, but I am gradually getting a little faster.
