I tried finding someone to run behind to try to let them take the brunt of the wind, but unfortunately there weren't too many tall people around me.
I ended up with a 41:37 time for my 5 mile race, average pace of 8:15min/mile. about 100 seconds slower than where I was hoping for, but honestly with the wind, I feel I did fine and on a normal day would have been right at my target.
Finished 223/751 overall and 28/64 in my Age Group.
