Just wanted to get a workout in. Ran a 1K with Phineas but he wasn't feeling well and complained the whole way and started his illustrious running career off with a last place.
I ran a good race, what I wanted as a rec runner at the moment, with slowly passing people through the first loop and then I wasn't convinced that the race directors didn't mess up the course so I impolitely yelled at the people directing, "This isn't a 5K!" But we did make our way around the 2nd time so I apologized. I was trying to catch 3 guys who were ahead, we entered walking nation the 2nd time through and I closed until we came close to the finish. I wasn't sure if we'd have to do the 2nd smaller loop around the softball field and we didn't. I had passed one guy before the turn but we were all sprinting to the finish, the 2 guys ahead of me closed surprisingly well and I was just glad to be sprinting. The guy in gray I had passed tied me right at the line and then when we were writing out times down he told me his time so I duplicated it. I was 3rd in my 30-39 age group with Nate being 1st overall in 16:44 and in our age group. All we got was a piece of paper but the whole fam was there, 13 overall, including Paul, Amber, E* and B & P. They had a nice French toast breakfast too. |
