Blue Clifton's blew out the side for the last time.  Luckily, I had the Old HOKA Infinites in the trunk of the car parked close to start/finish line.  WU in ruined disgraced Cliftons, and race/CD in Infinite

5k Race - the usual dissappointing fitness level at this race.  Struggled with mile 3, and the strength necessary to blast through curves and small rollers on the Columbus people trail in this section.  4th place in 18:49, and even more dissappointing was being beaten by a middle schooler turning into a slightly faster (and a lot taller since last summer) high schooler.  Kids these days... :)
