Headed down to Draper with Ken, Riley and Matthew. This was my 4th race of the Utah LDR Circuit. 

Did 3.7 mile warm with strides

Race started out with a big group about 12 people in the pack which quickly dwindled to Riley and I about a half mile in with Ken close behind. My plan was to go out as long as could with Riley thinking hey you never know what will happen. I came thru mile 1 @ 4:58 about 5 seconds back from Riley.

Mile 2 Riley made the gap bigger, I kept the same effort and was 4:57. Riley had to of been sub 4:50. 

Mile 3 was the hardest for sure. Gained all the feet you lost in mile 2 not to mention a couple rollers and some sharp turns between some gates. I could feel the fatigue coming into play from last weeks half marathon. Mentally I was about to give up and settle. I took a quick peak around 2.85 miles to see where Ken was and he was right on me. Easily only 2 seconds back. I thought crap, I'm going to have to earn this one. So I took off, hit 5:12 last mile and 32 seconds for last .11.

My time was 15:36 which is my fastest non aided 5K time and is a 5:14 sea level adjusted. So I am happy with the results.

Ogden Crew swept 1-2-3 and Matthew won the masters so we all came home with the max amount of money that we could've possibly earned. 

Cooled 5.90 miles
