Somehow they didn't get finish times for anybody in the race so all I have is my garmin for an unofficial PR time. The course was also a bit long since they changed it to go around the far side of the library, so subtracting .1 off either end of this course would have given me the sub-19 I was jonesin' for (18:48). Maybe I'll do the 5k instead of the 20k at the end of the series and try to make it official.
Overall it was still a fun morning. Kym, Karina, and Danny ran it with me and I even beat a couple of more experienced, talented, and younger runners that I've been looking up to for a long time. What a great way to start the year!
Next up... sub 40:00 10k on 1/22

My little hotties were still warm and I didn't want them to go to waste so I went out again to make it an even 10 for the day.

UPDATE: "Official" results are up now. I'm not sure how they determined the times, but they have me down for 19:23 instead of 19:15 and still 4th out of 10in my age division. That is still better than last year so I can't complain about a new PR on a long course. I'm 2nd in my division out of the 5 that registered for the whole series and Dale was first of those. Looks like he's gonna steal my thunder this year. Go Dale!
