Race: Pleasnt View Founders Day 5K (3.1 Miles) 00:25:18, Place overall: 54, Place in age division: 1

Total Distance

7.60

My friend came to my house and we ran the Pleasant View Founders Day 5K. I was not expecting a big turn out but was surprised to see about 300 runners. I will have to update the report when the official results are posted. I don't know my overall place. But I was very happy to see that I was first!!! in my age group. Man I can't remember the last time that happened, it might even be the first time that as happened!! I think there were 8 ladies in my age group... the really great thing is I smoked the second place lady by I think 2 minutes... like I said when the official results are posted I will let you know for sure. Then Sue and I ran around pleasant View for another 4.5 miles. Just took it nice and easy... then had the breakfast in the park... Nice start to my weekend!

Have a great weekend bloggers!!!

** Updates I was the 54th runner out of 271. I had estimated about 300 so I was pretty close. When I looked at the offical results I beat the second place lady by 4:33... maybe they were just not trying ?

Way to go Lori! You ARE a speedster... I told you!! Great run :) I am glad you had fun with Sue :) CONGRATULATIONS!!!

All that consistent running pays off. I've been in small races where a 25:18 would have gotten you a 1st place female finish. Great job!

Nice job!

Very nice start to the weekend! Congrats on taking down the competition in your age group---that is awesome!

Thanks everyone!!! I was very surprised to see that I got 1st in my age group.

Burt, that would be crazy!! I would die with excitement to be first place female :)

Way to smash the opposition in your age group!!!! Yeah!!!!

Congratulations! That's some fast running! Gotta love those AG awards. :)

Sorry I'm late getting to your race report.

WAY TO GO!!!!!!!! Huge congratulations on getting 1st in your age group!

You really are speedy.

You were actually 16th overall out of 162 women. Even world-class women do not compete against men for awards :-) At least not without a head start, like in the LA marathon gender challenge. And no, I do not think the second place in your age division was not trying. I looked up her results, found only one other race - a 30:22 5 K in 2007. In order to beat you, somebody has to have more Quality X or train better. Your Quality X is above average for a woman your age, I would even say for a woman of any age, and your training would probably be in the top 5% of all the runners in a race like this one, and I might be too generous with 5%, it is probably less. So with a 25:15 you are not that easy to beat.

Now do you believe me Lori?

Just found out you raced and read this report. Sorry for the belated CONGRATS on winning your AG!
