Plan was to start with 6:15/mi and see if I could hold it throughout. Started a little hot with a 6:10, but settled down after that. Pace was tough to hold on the 2nd half, especially with those hills, but I knew Steve wasn't far behind so I didn't want to let it slip too much.

With the 5k sharing the course, I really had no idea where I was in terms of the field, but looking back on it I should've known I was doing pretty well. Inside of 2 miles to go the bike that I saw leading Joe in came back to ride in front of me. In my lactic acid haze I didn't really think anything of it, so I was really surprised when they told me I finished in 2nd overall!

Not much, had a good plan, stuck to it and had a great result!

Cooled down with some easy running to get up to 10 miles for the day, picking up stuff from the car while I was out. Then watched Evie do the kids fun run, which was awesome! Future star in the making??


Nothing really, very happy with this result


First time doing this event and I really enjoyed it. Cool venue and the atmosphere was fun.
