AM- woke up at 5:30. Got to the race at about 6:30. Mile warmup followed by dynamics, speed changes and strides. At the starting line saw Sasha and the Pachev family, some guys from Alta who were pretty fast and some from Corner Canyon. I think I saw some other guys from the blog, Rob Murphy, Steven, and some other guys. Gun goes off and we set out. I got an ok start but nothing great. First mile 5:38. Legs felt really good for most of the race. I knew though that this race is really competitive. So I just tried to run my race and not get caught up with what was way ahead of me. 2 mile 11:14. I was still feeling good and I decided to start to surge this last mile but I knew it might be a little early. With 800 to go I past one kid from Alta. And I think one from Corner Canyon. With 200 to go I just gave it ham haha. 16:58 at the 3 mile mark. And 17:41 for the finish!! Good race and a or for the 5k with little speed for the summer. Cooldown a mile to get to 5 for the morning. S/O to Eugene for killing his race and a solid PR!!!
PM- 5.5 easy miles around Maeser and then back to my house. Average pace 6:53.
