So I'm in the best shape of my life and looking to best my pitiful PR in the 5k (17:09). I feel completely ready to beat that, but am having trouble finding the opportunities. I tried it at an xc meet at VCP a few weeks ago, but crashed and burned in the hills for 17:30's. Even then, I feel like a road 5k would have been a different story.
Now, the problem is that I can't seem to find any road 5k's in NYC, as the fall season is concluding. The NYRRC website is no help, nor are any of the running clubs out here in brooklyn where I live. Moreover, I have no car, and can only get where public transport takes me.
Does anyone know of any 5k races in the next 3 weeks in the NYC area?
thanks,
