I couldn't miss this race, even though I ran STG last weekend, because it is one of my favorite 5Ks. Plus the race starter said we were responsible for channeling our energy to tonight's big game. The race turned out to be about as slow and painful as expected but at least I didn't injure myself; my hamstring was super sore all week.
My splits were 5:15,5:06,5:41 whereas last year I ran the race a week before STG in 5:04,4:55,5:28. I lost to a kid who might have been 16 years old and probably about 8 inches shorter than me. He ran tough and even on a good day I am not sure I would have won. Amiee ran well and ended up on the podium (3rd overall), Nicolai was 3rd overall in the Kids K despite taking a spill at the start and Josh was 2nd in his age group.
