Cotton Row Run today in Huntsville. Ran a 37:10 in the 10k, which made for a good, solid-effort tempo run, and then ran the 5k, but ran it in a slightly more fun way than normal. I waited until all 1500 people in the race got ahead of me, and then started trying to see how far up I could get after starting in the very back. In any case, fun day.

We'll see how poor of a decision this was for the 50k on Saturday...

Great job in the 10k.Where did you end up in the 5k?

I ran as a bandit, so I won't have an official time, but I think it was around 20:30 (with which I am pleased, considering that I waited ~2 minutes for everyone to get by before I even started...)

Awesome!

So I gotta ask, how many people did you pass in the 5k?

From Nevels on Mon, May 25, 2009 at 22:13:23 from 75.143.88.18

Looking at the results, there were 1677 people in the 5k, and if I had officially finished in 20:30, I would have been 29th, so I passed 1649 people.

Hey man thanks for the congrats! I'm lucky that I've been able to work on my research this summer, so maybe the school year won't be so bad. I hope your research is going well, and good luck on your 50k.

What is your research project/thesis going to be?

Right now I’m working on testing cement stabilized slurries with Dr. Howard. Later this summer I’ll be starting testing on dewatering of slurries, so I have to pick my thesis to either be on cement-soil chemistry or dewatering and construction methods. I think I have to decide by October or something. I got an offer from N.C. State to go up there and do some computer modeling with Lunar soils, but I really like the research I’m doing here so far, so I think I made a good decision. Are you still working on “blowing stuff up” modeling? In Florida??

From Nevels on Tue, May 26, 2009 at 15:20:30 from 131.204.15.93

I would imagine that it's pretty fun working with Dr. Howard, so I'm sure you made the right decision. As far as the topic, it sounds interesting, but you'll have to explain whichever one you pick to me at some point. (I'm but a lowly computer modeler...)

I'm chilling here in Auburn for the summer, taking a class and trying to get the models running. yay...
