Ok Im home so I can do a quick write up.   I went into this race with one goal and that was to beat the natorious Pepe Peterson.  I had a strategy from running this race and that was to go as hard as I could out  and let the steep downhill at mile two push me to a 5 or faster pace mile. I started and was running side by side to Pepe and he dropped back after a half mile and I was all alone besides a younger guy who got behind me about mile 1 to draft from the head wind we got. Once I hit mile 2 it was where I wanted to be. Hitting 4:58-5:08 pace till mile 6. I didnt hear anyone behind me at all.  At mile 7 I counted to 28 seconds until some bystanders clapped for me till they clapped again. Kind of tricky in my book. I was a bit worried at that point. I was fading to a 5:40 pace and couldnt seem to go any faster even with the down hill parts that came up. At mile 9 I was down to about 10 seconds ahead of Pepe. This worried me as I was having stomach issues. I almost had to stop at mile ten because it was burning. I knew if I stopped Id lose the race so I kept on pushing. Mile 11 and 12 were both 5:40 pace and I knew I had to push a 5:30 or better on my last mile so I gave it all I got. At mile 12.6 I turned around and saw that I had about .10 mile lead on Pepe but knew he was a strong finisher so I set it in my head to push as hard as possible on the last turn in and stayed ahead of him. He pushed me hard! I finished about 20 seconds ahead of him. He is quite the competitor.  I talked to him for a while afterward and he wants a showdown in SGM.  I will have to see. I really want to do the Twin Cities so either race will be competition.  I ended up with $500.00 bucks which is about 2-3 days of concrete work so I will take it! 

 My pacers did an amazingly great job helping 10 pace times and tons of compliments were given which is what I live for! Its so fun!
