So the Race went well today. Got to the race and Bumped in to Seth Pilkington he was doing his long run, so I joined him for a short warmup. His wife Jamie was racing the 5k today also.

Okay so the North Ogden 5k honestly is probably one of the hardest 5k's in the state!!! No joke, more net uphill then the Striders Winter Circuit 5K!! Ya that hard, plus it's a long 5K about 3.20 miles so that adds what maybe 20 to 30 seconds depending???

So as the race was getting started I had some highschool kids talking some smack to me, just saying stuff like "we got your number this year" all in good fun.

The gun went off I stayed behind to HighSchool kids and one other kid Named Taylor Monson, to me pace felt slow so the goal was to take off for the first half mile where it is flat before you start climbing and to hopefully pull a couple of kids with me. Hit half mile at 2:09 so for 4:18 pace, which was probably stupid because I felt it bad. Worked great though, 2 kids were still behind me so I slowed up and tucked behind them up the hill, got my wind back, and just relaxed and listening to the other kids breathing. They were struggling to get there wind back 1st mile- 5:40. Pace slowed dramatically. around 1.25 miles it crests and you get a little downhill, thats where I took off from there with the rolling hills I managed a 5:15 second mile, and a 5:14 third mile. The last .17 I paced in at 4:55 pace. Finished the race in 16:58. First place overall. Dustin Randall was 2nd with a 17:28 time with Taylor Monson 3rd with a 17:36.

Also Just a little love to my wife Nikki who ran also today, finished her 5K with a time of 25:00 minutes. Great Run for her!!!

4 mile cooldown.
