Notes
Perfect day. 45 degrees and essentially no wind.
Line up next to Zach Young, Doug A and Matt M. Zach is working on dropping his w/c times on 5K to the 14's for next yrs run at the National championships.
Mile splits: 5:32/5:43/6:00/:37 for last .13 on the garmin for 17:52 finish. Zach rolls to a 15:23 (?) and I am second across the Roadrunners Jaguar chip timing finish line.
Doug A and Matt M wage an epic battle for 2nd OA during the final .5 miles with Doug out-kicking the youngster for a one second win, 19:23 to Matt's 19:24. Big PR for Matt M.
Want to bitch about fading during the last 1.25 miles of the race but just going to keep quiet and count my blessings: Another OA win for the CBEM "Old Men" in 2012, another sub-18 5K finish this year - 7th out of 10 races; Very nice plaque for OA win today and don't seem to have done any damage to myself.....................Live to race another day!
Went over to the Class 4 District XC meet and watched the local kids run. They had a great day to stretch their legs. Hopefully it will be nice next Saturday for the Class 1/2 District event... Would like to see SC get someone through to State meet.
