20:40, 4th overall, 2nd in age group.
Fun Turkey Day race. Happy about my performance. Didn't quite know
what to expect given my last few weeks of craziness. I did a tempo run
last Saturday (which was my first speed session in 3 weeks), and I knew
based on how that went that I am not in top form. But, that's Ok...
time to get in better shape.
My time for today's 4-mile race was 20:40 (5:10 average). It was
essentially a bone-flat 4-miler. Splits: 4:57, 5:08, 5:24 (headwind,
slight uphill), 5:04). Mike won it in 20:04; he's in great shape and
looked strong. My hat's off to him. A BYU cross country runner took
2nd, and Zak was 3rd in about 20:30.
I felt better as the race progressed. I was in 6th place at the 3
mile mark, and I was able to gradually accelerate to the finish. Given
my current training and the wild last 3 weeks, I'm happy with how it
went.
Definitely a lot of fun today. Hanging out with many friends was the highlight.
