Provo City 5k

This is the first 5k I've ran since last July and I was fairly unprepared but I needed to have a baseline to move forward with now that I am finally healthy. This was a fun race. Lined up with team mates Matt and Trevor and soon enough we were off. There was a pack of 5 that went out very quick and then I was in the 4 person chase pack that was about 3 meters back at the half mile point. By the 1 mile marker I was about 10 meters behind the lead group of four and all the guys with me had faded back so I was all alone the rest of the race. I saw one of the guys on the lead pack fall off at the 2 mile mark and made it my goal to try and catch him but it didn't quite happen. I faded a bit on the last mile which is about right considering I haven't done much of anything speed wise and that I was solo. Trevor won the race with Matt a close second. Good day for the team. Course was a tenth long and I ended up 5th in 18:20. I'm happy to have a starting point now. I know that I have lost some fitness this year but I am in a good place and it will come back quickly as long as I stay patient. Felt good to shake the cobwebs off.
