Comments:

Brought my amphipod and was glad of it. Chased Copper for the first two miles, then ran fast in case she was about to pass me (even though I knew she was no where near me.)

This was B.'s first race ever. He beat me by 3 minutes!
What would you do differently?:

This is my personal best to date, but I still wish I could drop another 3 minutes off it!

A fantastic club 5K, every Tuesday at the same location. I highly recommend it - a good time is had by all.
