First race of the year and it turned out just fine. I wanted to beat my 15:55 from last year but considering my inconsistent training, dirt-like air conditions and lack of races I am happy with the ~16:01. Warming up with Kevin I said I would go out in a 5:05 but sure enough I failed once again and went out with BJ in 4:54 and then just got slower. Mile 2 split was about 5:14 and mile 3 was 5:22. So if I had stuck to my plan I think I could have beat last year's time. One thing I was happy about was not letting a sophomore from East catch in the last stretch to the finish. With a 1/2 mile left he got within 10 ft. but I managed to speed up a bit down the final stretch to hold him off. The lungs didn't like that, however. B.J. made his 15:30 look effortless and it looked like Devra, Allie and Walter all had great races as well. Collin get the gutsy award for attempting a 5k after running a TM marathon on Wednesday and having to run home at 1 AM last night. Tomorrow a group of us are running from the Whole Foods in Park City starting at 8:45. For people who want to carpool we will meet at ShopKo on 1300 E. at 8:45. Kevin, Collin, Scott, Bill Cobler, Rossy and others will probably be there. |
