In all the years I have raced and lived in SLC I have never run an official 5K at Sugar House Park. This was supposed to be the day but they found a way to cut the course short by about .13 miles. Considering my lawn run yesterday the race which much better than anticipated. Splits were 4:55, 5:10, ~5:15. I had the lead through 2 miles but lost it to Matt O'Connor. He didn't run the last circle correctly so I crossed the line first but insisted that he was #1. His award was an entry to the Dirty Dash.....shucks!

Warmed up with Josh and cooled down with Matt, Albert and Josh. I think we all got our money's worth with the goodie bag, gels, REI bag, pint glass and stickers.

That's a great time on those rollers around Sugarhouse.

It must have been short.

Yup. I said it was about 2.97 miles.
