When I played at Centerville all o linemen had to be under 615 and same as the d line. TE's under 6 as the the LB's had to do, while everyone else had to under 545 or 530 can not remember as it was 10 years ago. Any athlete with a little training should be able to get around a 6 minute mile.

I agree.

I ran my first 5k after training for not even a week, and my first mile split was 6:15 even though I had 2.1 miles left. The course was also mostly hills and considered a slow course.

I don't know if any of this factors in on the poor times, everyone had a high time, higher than usual, but...

Time of day: 7:50-8:00 AM-Not sure how big of a difference that makes, since we always ran that early, but I know I don't like running an hour after I wake up. This probably had little to do with the times, but I believe if I was fully awake, I would've had a much better time. I know someone is going to come back and say "yea well I run in the morning and my time is still better". Thats not my point, I'm really to bet you would have a better time when you aren't half asleep.

Humidity: I know I keep saying this, but there was an unusual high humidity in the morning. Which of course can make it harder to breathe when running. I know it was bad on me. Me and many others were sweating as we walked to the track, and we hadn't even ran yet.

I'm not here to try to prove that my time was good at all. I'm the one that is most disappointed in myself. I'm just trying to say, that the conditions were not "ideal" for a great time.

I know someone is going to say something about what I just wrote/typed, but I'm not really looking for a arguement.

How you are still "half asleep" after being up for over an hour, and outside in hot weather is beyond me.

And lets not kid ourselves, this is a mile run, not a triathalon. Having "ideal" conditions is really not that important, considering it should only last 6 or 7 minutes at most.
