I had a work trip out of Salt Lake this morning and this race fit in right before it, since it's on the circuit as the last one I drove down an hour early for work and sqeaked it in. After two twenty milers this week starting base training and a 50 mile R2R2R of the Grand Canyon coming up Saturday I decided to enjoy this today and pace a 5:45. It was nice to finally get to enjoy a 5k instead of killing myself. The course was much improved over last year and it was a lot of fun to see the lead pack going out so fast. I know from other 5ks around the country that I've ran, that our competition here is so much better. Awesome to see so many bloggers running so well. I had to take off immediately after the race and fly to Lubbock, TX to pick up the Kansas State football team and take them to Manhatten, KS, which I didn't even know existed before today. Since the team was looking at a three hour delay I was able to get out and get the rest of my run in to try and hit my 100 mile week. Almost made it.. |
