race report 5/18
Thurston Middle School 2M – 10:11, 1st place. This is a terribly pretentious comment, but: After the first half mile I was sort of embarrassed that I entered this race (the 2nd place finisher was 15 years old and almost a full minute behind). I knew going in that it was primarily geared towards kids & families, but it’s been so long since I’ve done anything under 5K (12 years?) that I couldn’t resist; I’ll probably always be a middle distance junkie. Also, the previous course record was 10:39 – not stellar but quick enough that I figured there might be other low-10 min runners. Oh well. Typical warm-up: 15 min of jogging with some accelerations. The conditions were sunny, high 60s, breezy. Did 35 min E a few hours afterwards.

ha ha ha! I tried to warn you! I was hanging with my neighbors and they said, "I bet a high schooler will win it," and I said, "Ah, no. My friend Zac will. Trust me." Then you sailed by and no one else came for like another two minutes.
