W/u: 23:27 for ~3 miles
C/d: 21:35 for ~2.5 miles
Sunday around noon was when I was scheduled to contribute 1% to the Charlotte Running Club's 100 x 5k World Record. I didn't have any time goals as I just wanted to go out an compete to set an honest baseline mark. Usually time trials are used to gauge how the training is going, but for me it was a way to see where my fitness levels currently are after my achilles injury.
You can see by the splits below how the race went. I started off running comfortable 37s which turned into 38s and eventually 39s. At least I didn't drop any 40s. I closed a little faster which means I got lazy the final mile of the race. I'll take it and be able to structure workouts as a 16 minute 5k guy.
Splits (scroll down. Way down):
1:15.1

Come on guys, that was a horrible exchange... could've jeopardized the record! Guess they don't run many relays in DII, ha. Great to see you healthy, Jordan.
