Decent race today at the Murray 5K. I was not feeling great when I
woke up, so I did not expect to much (flew home from Oakland late
Friday night). The Murray race always has fast people, but I was
surprised that 18:10 took 2nd in my age group. Mile 1: 5:37--Way to fast for the uphill climb. I would pay for this in the later miles.
Mile 2: 5:53--Closer to pace, but struggling to stay with the pack. A
guy named George passed me here. He always passes me in 5K races in
Salt Lake. I need to stay ahead of him if I want to run in the 17's.
Mile
3: 6:04--I was done, but could see the first place female closing in on
me. I also passed a couple of peope which was a surprise.
Mile
3.1 0:34 (5:17)--Did not get chicked! I should have had more kick to
place two spots higher, but not bad with all things considered. Ran
with Lucas and Elizabeth in the kids 1/2 mile run after the 5K. We
also won a hotel voucher for Fairfield Inns...something you would never
find at a sponsored fast running blogging event...lol! Jeremy ran with
his son and Marie had a 1 minute PR. It was a nice July 4th morning.
