Comments:

this is a cool 5k run by tim and nicole deboom to promote her racing skirts. all the women wear skirts and get a 3:00 head start. then all the men chase them down. the final results are listed as actual time, so the men get 3:00 added to their time and the winner takes home a prize purse.
i decided to go hard to see where my fitness is and use it as my speedwork for the week. the race started straight up a hill though and by mile 1 i was looking for an out. i thought i would just run k down and then finish with her, but when i caught her and smacked her on the ass she said she felt like crap. i decided i better just keep going and see what happens. i ended up keeping a good pace and although i was dying by the end i finished strong.
19:51 is chip time.
event time with 3:00 added was 22:51.
What would you do differently?:

pour some water on my head. i was overheating by the end.

Warm down:

Sounds like a fun race!  What would make it even more fun, is that all men have to dip their hands in paint before the race, and the women get time taken subtracted from their chip time, depending on what percent of their bottom is covered with paint at the end of the race.
