Really good race, took 7th overall and I think I paced it really well, went fast but smooth up the first hill, stayed strong on the downhill, and then made a move to separate myself from Jared from the farm team and another guy arund mile 2. I slowly pulled ahead, and was far enough ahead that I didn't have to kill myself and throw up going around the track, so that was nice. 5k's are such a wild race to me, so fast and pretty intense. Stacy was there cheering me on, so that was nice, and then ate some blue pancakes to top it all off. Also, I saw one of the most inspiring things of my life. Mckenzie Buenning ran a 5k, which is just incredible because considering how she was in a coma a few years ago and people weren't even sure if she would even walk again, it was just miraculous.
