It was a last minute decision to run the 10k. My training has been almost non-existant and therefore felt like the 5k would be fine. Rebecca ran the 10k so I figured I might as well give it a go. I immediately regretted the decision but it was too late. Kind of a painful uphillish course but not too terrible. I was 3rd for the first couple of miles until I passed Yunior. I stayed behind him for a bit to recover and then I passed him on an uphill to ensure that I at least made a decent gap between us. After that I was chasing the lead guy who happened to be an Lt on the base who just started flying T-6's in the flight room down the hall from me. He's still fressh and fast I guess. I ended up finishing about 30 seconds before me so he did well. I was happy with my performance all things considered. Rebecca got first by a good amount of time if I remember so she got a trophy for the 2nd year in a row. I keep getting 2nd these days but I guess I shouldn't expect much when I am running about 15 miles per week.
