Ran a race to support my brother-in-laws school program at weber state.
It was cold and windy at the start of the race. It was an out and back course, and the first half was straight into a really strong head wind coming out of the canyon (canyon that ogden marathon comes out of towards the end, 12th street) and the cours went uphill about 80 feet in the first half. It sucked going into the wind and up the hill, but it was really nice coming back. I won by about 2-3 minutes. At the half way point when I saw how far ahead I was I almost shut it down and jogged in, but I told myself I didn't drive 3 hours to do a jog, I drove 3 hours for a race. I pushed hard and finished in a decent time for me. The course was about .1 miles short, but what 5k isn't?
