Notes
Garmin time is official time. In fact, it's the only time. Can't get much more laid back, old school than that. Free 5K in Great Falls before the parade. The new course this year was like a cross-country race, probably half pavement and gravel roads, the other half trails. I was able to warmup on the first third of the course, which was hilly, but I wasn't expecting the hills on the rest. I think I went out too fast also but hey this was a 5K. Managed to get third but only after the kid in front of me, who was all of 12 (LOL!), took a wrong turn in the last quarter mile on a trail (I didn't see him at that point). I felt bad for him and hope he keeps it up and goes out for XC! Definitely feel like the track workouts are helping. Really want to try a flat, paved 5K or four miler now; this was PR for me by over two minutes that was on a similar XC course. Happy 4th everyone!
