So we have a new race series in Salt Lake in the spring time. 5k, 10k, 15k each one two weeks apart up and down City Creek Canyon. I'll be out of town for the next 2 races so this one will be it foir this year. But it was a beautiful morning and I had a great time.

So today's 5k was 1.55 miles up and 1.55 miles down. My watch didn't start at the start so I only got the last 2.62 miles of the race. First mile was 7:51, second mile was 5:57, last .62 was 3:43. I was excited to see that 5:57!

I won the 55-59 age group by about 7 minutes which is no fun. I miss competing against my old friends who have either given up competition or moved on to something else (or died?). So I guess I win by attrition.
