You still placed. Most people don't even get up and enter. I'm proud of you.
Review what you can do better, and make those improvements before the next one. It's not over. You got this

I placed 3rd with a 20:42 last 5k I did. Small one with about 400 runners. It satisfied an itch. Now I’m focusing on sprinting. I was going to try for sub 20min but it took a lot of effort to get sub 21 and I’m still pretty slow compared to teenagers who play sports.

Imagine getting mogged by 10 other people, a bunch of them were probably women too

The dude in his 60s and the sexy fit black girl were the worst hits to my ego. I knew it could end up like that though sense I mostly run solo freestyle. Competition gave me an idea of how much harder I need to prepare.

So you'll get better and improve

great work
running fucking sucks man it's infinitely more accessible than lifting and you'll get dogged by people who just run a fuck load
if you're at it to place highly you'll need to be a different animal but the same beast
otherwise, just run man you look good and run well

Pretty decent

Congrats anon. Proud of you. Are you going to run another one?

I placed 300th on my first in high school, I thought I was fit because I walk to school but it was brutal. Trained a bit and placed 30th on my next one.
Wonder where I'd place nowadays, everyone is a runner now so even if I'm way more trained I doubt I'd win.

For sure. I've always been into running, so I came in with a chip on my shoulder not realizing that its different racing others and you can't slow down to recover without getting dusted. Trying to keep up tired me out faster, but now I know what to work on.

A zoomer who had strides like a horse.
