Glad to get the one obligatory 5K out of the way for the year. Forgot my watch (rare occurence) so I don't have my splits but I think they were pretty even at around 5:15. Benjamin ran a good race and finished in 16:05. He gapped me and Jason at about mile 1 and didn't look back. I was happy not to fall apart in the last mile and held off a few guys who finished around 10 seconds back.

Warm up and cooldown with Justin. Good to see a soldout race but suprised there weren't more fast runners. I don't think I have placed in the top 3 in this race for years.

Nice job.

I can point to about 2/3 of your favorite blogs to the left there who either don't run, don't race, moved on to trails, got other hobbies, moved out of state or otherwise lost interest.

Shoot! How are you not on my list? I just added you. You and Justin were there at least and Allie and Fiddy would have been there if they lived here.

I'm honored!

Nice race Fritz! I was on the fence about doing it and then once it sold out I just stuck to my training plan. Sounds like I missed a good one though.

nice racing out there. no mention of wintery weather from either you or rob, so i'm guessing you got a clear day? always nice when you can avoid a hairpin turn on ice at racing speeds. :)

It was cold but clear - and a rare tailwind on the return trip!

Nice work Fritz. Wish I could have been there...though I would have been done about when you finished your cool down.
