Alright so I ran 30 minutes this morning, I usually don't taper or cut back for a 5k. But, the Gerald Anderson is probably one of the most competitive 5k's that I have ever competed in. Usually top 3 will be under 16:00 or close to it. All the top highschool runners from Davis county will be there(talking sub 10:00 2 milers) also not to mention you have the likes of Lindsey Anderson that will race(2008 steeplechase Olympian) so to make a story short. I want to feel completely ready to go, and feel like I am not 100% to race.

Drove up to Morgan to run the Gerald Anderson Memorial 5k. Like always great race, awesome Adidas Tech Shirts. Great flat course. I guess the only thing that could have been better was the weather. Windy and Rainy.

So officially my first 5k of the year, the goal was to break 16 minutes and was way close.

Race Splits.

1- 5:03

2- 5:05

3- 5:19

.12 -:35 seconds

So overall felt good, wish the last mile was around 5:10 but I think that will come as I get more comfortable with short faster distance.

I was with the overall winner til' the third mile then he kicked on me, I have neer seen a kick that fast before. He finished at 15:57. Later found out that he is running at BYU. Very nice kid. I wish him the best of luck in his College Career!! Wish I would've remembered his name.
