I made it out to the Salt Lake Track Club's Winter 5k after taking last year off. My goal was to break 20 minutes for the first time in forever and I ran 19:20 - so that's good. Splits were 6:16, 6:10, 6:13, 43. Makes me think I can break 19 minutes again because I wasn't really racing that hard.
I thought I won my age group so I have awarded myself 1st place here on the blog. Bill Cobler beat me by 1 second even though he finished a couple minutes behind me. Decided to do the awards based on chip time rather than gun time and apparently Bill had a hard time making it to the start on time. It's frustrating to lose to a person when you finish a few hundred yards in front of them.
