You won't be going five miles any pace. Unless you are racing somewhere other than Chattanooga, the race you are referring to is an 8km road race. Check your facts before spouting crap on this board. You don't own it. Don't act like you do.
Anyway, you stunk at State, after I went out on a limb in your name. I'm starting to doubt whether or not you actually ran that 16:0x at Owens. Or wondering if perhaps you cut the course. It wouldn't be difficult to do right before mile two, before going around the Indian mound.
