2013 Salt Lake Winter Running Series 10k --Trevor Baker

Overall Time: 00:33:39
Place overall: 5
Place in age division: 2

Got a free entry into this series off of Facebook so with a few weeks of running, I jumped in.  Great competition but a miserable last 5k on the way back.  Race opened up with a good pack the first mile and I trailed Riley, Jake, and Matt.  I think we when through the mile around 5:10?  Long time ago, can't remember,  I then just trailed Matt in 5th through 5k.  Hit 5k in 16:23.  As soon as we turned it was a miserable 5k back.  I tried sitting on Matt and just use the draft, but he got sick of that pretty soon and dropped me.  I ran the last 3 miles in like 5:40, 5:36 and 5:28?  Can't remember but I think that's what it was?  Finished 5th and didn't accomplish the goal of 3rd place.  Not in the greatest shape after all but you gotta give it a whirl.  Looking forward to running more races in April and hopefully I'll be in better shape by then.
