Cottonwood Heights Turkey Trot 5K 18:33 5th Overall 1st 26-29 age group I was feeling pretty sick still today but I really wanted to do well on this race so I gutted it the best I could. I started out just fine letting the rabbits take off. Most came back after the first 1/2 mile. I was about 20-30 yards behind the "pack" of leaders and debated going after them and run with them, but decided to run my pace. The course is hilly and tough. Lots of hills both out and back. 175 ft elevation difference between the start/finish and the turn-around. The wind had a bit of an effect on my time as well. It was warm but pretty windy. I worked to keep pasing people the whole way and did well picking them off slowly until the finish. I was hoping for a time closer to 17:30 but I am happy with my time considering the tough course and being sick. Total Time: 18:33 Ave Hr: 186 Max Hr Hit : 196 (Every time I looked at my watch it was around 188-189, but I didn't look during the last push to the finish). Ran some easy miles after the race cheering on family members and running home.

Nice work. Did you win a turkey or anything?

Congradulations, it was a tough course yesterday. It seems you did great to hang on to the pace on the uphill. It seems there were not many awards?

Brent,

Too bad that I didn't get to meet you there. I am suprised how much those hills take out of you. I was pretty bummed out about the pathetic awards. 1st place in my division 5th overall and I get a promise to have a ribbon MAILED to me because they didn't buy enough to give out. What?? Once again, I wish they would reward the faster runners with some of the prizes they raffle to random people. The odds are not the greatest to win a MP3 player or a similar prize when there are 500 people in the race. My only chance is to do well in the race and hope I get some sort of a ribbon or trophy worth keeping. No turkeys for me.

Cody, your comments are right on about the awards. Me and Sylvia feel the same way, give awards to the winners first. There should be some payoff for the hardwork. If I were race director there would be no random prize drawings unless the first three overall and division winners got a meaningful prize award. See you at the races. By the way, your 12 miles on the Jordan parkway is right my home course. We live 15 seconds of the trail. B of BS Rools out.

So Cody, I was googling Cottonwood Heights turkey trot for this year's results (2007) and your blog came up as my second result. That's pretty crazy!
