This was more like 3.2 miles but still a pretty slow time. Mile splits were 5:19, 5:38, 5:50. I ran in my endorphin speeds and I think I would have been closer to 17:20 in xc spikes but I didn't want to spend $100 for one random xc race.

Had a bunch of fun today. Got to race with Henry Jake and Simon and Jon, I also met Tyler who is a fellow hobbyjogger and Hyrum who is a quick guy. We did a nice 5 mile cool down and then I met Becca and Whitney for some teriyaki.

Some more late tonight parking and retrieving the car downtown.
