Having run 5 previous 5K races with cool and overcast conditions, it took a bright and sunny day along with a fast, flat course to power Val to a new 5K PR of 21:15:9 which is 13 seconds faster than her PR set last year, July 4th, in Huntington Beach.

When I saw the men come in hot and fast and then Mary Akor, I knew Val would be on pace for breaking a personal record and she was strong in the finish.
