So this is the race my mother in laws company puts on. I ran a 2 mile warm up on the course to kind of check it out before the start. At the start there were a few guys who looked like they may be fast so I wasn't sure what to expect at the gun I started out pretty good and found myself in the lead. From the start to about 1.5 There was a group of 3-4 of us running together not quite sure because I was not looking back and just could here the footsteps. After that it ended up being me and the Kuna cross country coach. I was figuring he wanted to turn it into a sprint at the end so around 2 I started to try and push the pace down. At 2.5 I threw in a surge and ended up dropping him and held on strong to finish. This race felt like a bit of a vindication after my epic blow up in the half I ran a few weeks ago. I went out smarter and stayed within my goal pace. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have run the time I ran without having a good push to help out. After I finished I ran back and started getting the kids. Brytan ran 25:48, Chloe 29:12, Jonah 31:27. They all did so well and we really enjoy running this as a family. I was surprised at the amount of times under 20 min. The competition was much better than last year. Now off to my wife's 20 year class reunion.
