    Ha.  I knew I could talk you in to posting your timeBig grin. Congrats on your new PR! I cant imagine running a 25 anything.  Lol. 

     

    Good luck to Zel too.  How mad would you be if she got a 25:47?

     

    I like these showdowns.  Who is next for a showdown?  A virtual showdown.  We should do one a week!   We can match up people with the most similar 5k times!  Mine 5k PR is a 31:39 and its very fresh! Not soft at all.

     

    Traci - The big showdown will be in April when we all have our first HM's.  My one and only 5K was 32:00, so we will have to race sometime.

        23:35 for me for the 5k. My splits were 7:27, 7:23, and 7:30. My Garmin said 3.2 miles, but whatever.  Youngest DD did a 25:22 and older DD was cruising and chatting with her friends... 21 and change for them.

         

        Good stuff awood... Great PR!

                    I started a blog about running :) Check it out if you care to


                    Mmmmm...beer

                      Congrats again Awood, killer PR!!

                       

                      Volunteering at the 50k was great, I was amazed at how many smiling happy faces there were crossing the finish line after such a tough race (I was working the backup timing gear at the finish line).  Definitely a tough trail, multiple people coming across the line with dirt on their arms/shoulders from taking spills, and I'm pretty sure one lady tore a tendon in her forearm (huge bulge on her wrist).  The winner crossed the line in 3:35, and then went back out and ran it again for the hell of it!  He still came back from his second round before the 8 hour cutoff.  Crazy.  In case you're wondering, yes, I now plan on doing this race next year. Smile

                       

                      Good luck Zel, whoop Awood's butt! (sorry Awood, since you posted first, I now have to root for Zel) Big grin
