Decided to do a 5k on about two days notice.  I haven't been doing speed or tempo sence last fast, so I wasn't expecting much. 

It was only the second annual 5k (actually 3.58) Hanksville has done.  I was in the area doing motorcycle patrol for the weekend, so I decided it give it a shot.

About 50 people showed up.  I won the whole thing, first overall.  Second place was over 5 minutes behind me. 

Not my best performance, but it still counts as a win.  You just have to beat who shows up on race day.
