Just do it

Ok so I wanted to run the half but my knee is still being weird so I ran the 5k instead.  I warmed up by running the first half mile of the marathon with Becca poo and I ran back.  The race was pretty chill.  No visible competition at the start.  There were a few kids that looked serious at the front but not too serious.  I think I caused everyone to go out faster than they wanted to.  I heard them close to me for about a half mile and I was at a 5:50 pace. I didn't hear them after that.

It was an out and back so it seemed super fast actually.  My first mile was 5:50 and then it was about 6:05 for the next two.  I finished and my watch was saying closer to 3.2 so I would say my time was closer to the 18:40sh range.  I got a little medal and a little teddy bear with the number 1 around his neck.  It was a fun race.  Love me some 3.1 

This was an awesome race!!  Laughlin throws an adventure race every year that is kind of like a triathlon only with about a mile of rafting instead of swimming.  Another difference is that it's a relay.  We did it as an extreme team so there were 4 of us that did the whole thing together. Twas me, Rebecca, and 2 friends from my pilot training class.  

We averaged about 20 mph on the bikes and we were drafting.  My friend Joe had some music blasting on his fanny pack while we biked and it was way fun.  We actually passed the team the won during the bike portion however we ended up getting a flat tire.  Jeff then had to change the tube 3 times before we actually got it to fill up without pinching and losing all the air.  Lucky too since it was our last tube.  After that delay we had to wait 15-20 minutes at the first transition area for our driver to get there with our running shoes.  

The run consisted of some obstacles and a huge hill.  From there, 3 of us went out on the raft for the most horrible experience on earth (it was a small raft).  We then had to run up the hill and climb over a wall to cross the finish line.  Good times :) 

No inserts today.  7:10ish pace.

7:20 pace.  Good run
