Woke up in the morning and felt the sore throat and minor chest congestion coming on from the kids cold that's been hanging on for the past week so I wasn't sure what to expect. When the horn sounded I just went at a nice pace and cruised the entire course at a nice clip. Didn't bother slowing down for drinks on the course. Started hacking a bit in last mile, but was able to contain it to the finish.

AG: 4 out of 6 Overall: 16 out of 77

I thought it was a new PR, but found the 10K time from an Oly last August that was 46:24, so no new PR. But of course I suspect the course was a bit short in the Oly at 5.9 miles according to another racers Garmin. So I guess I can count this as an accurate 10 K stand alone PR.

Not get sick.

Crossed the finish line and headed for the Fire Dept rescue squad and the guys had the wifes purse and keys. A deputy was able to get into the car grab the purse and give it to the firefighters. Sweet. Ran to the car and locked up the purse and ran back onto the course to find K and pace her to the finish.

We chatted with Trish for a bit.

Drove to the nearby Krogers and purchased two half gallons of good ice cream and dropped them off at the firehouse as a big thank you to my brothers.


Lack of a good warm up and feeling kinda of ill didn't help but I did better then expected.


Nice low key event that benefits the Harrison Twp Rec Dept so I wasn't expecting to much overall, but the course was nice and the traffic on the roads was stopped at the crossings. The only bummer was the lack of t shirts so we missed out on that. The post race food was hot dogs, so we opted for Jimmy Johns down the road :)
