Time to fly

In a pair of Barbados Cherry/Plein Air Hoka Rincons, I took off shortly before 6 am, racing 5k with Doctors Without Borders for the 555 race. Named after the Californian surf spot, the Rincons have long been on my wish list and today they proved their value in the cold Umeå morning air. Even as I recognize now that I should have given my body more time to warm up before the race, I was able to run those 5k in a 4:19 min/km pace which is about 10 seconds faster per km than a year ago.
