My 1st ever really short race report. (Read 543 times)

Firecracker 5k in Anaheim Hills 7/4/2008 Got to the race at 7:00. Picked up my bib and was number 441. It was chip timed so it didn't matter where I lined up. lined up towards the middle. took 30 seconds to get to the start mat. The 5k was an out and back course. I didn't have a garmin or watch to tell me what my pace was or anything. we did 3/4 or a 1/4 track on the way out and the way in. Ran up part of the street and turned around. The course was completely flat. Results Gun Time 28:52 Chip Time 28:17 OA 238/682 35% AG 17/27 63% PR by 1:15 Winner of 5k came in at 14:58 Winner of 10k came in at 31:00 http://www.chccanaheim.com/documents/fire085k.pdf ctrl + f Logan Garland

Hey I didn't know there were any flat spots in Anaheim Hills! Nice run... next time come on down to Huntington Beach so you can get some elevation gain.

zoom-zoom - This was my 3rd 5k. I don't have an August Race lined up yet. Blindside - Is there a 5k there in August

The only one I know of, which isn't quite a 5K, is this one on August 21st in Huntington Beach Central Park: http://www.nealand.com/finishline/sunset/ I ran this last year and it's a nice park run. Some of it is on dirt, the rest on asphalt trail, and it even manages to find the one hill in the city! There's a 2.8 mile run and a 4.8 mile run, plus the option to run both. Note that it's on a Thursday in the evening... B.
