My neighbor woke me up for 3 hours the night before, and that kind of pissed me off. It was fun to get to the law school and be the only elite runner there (sub 30:00 minute 8k). They had cool shirts, which I will flaunt with pride. I took the first mile our way too fast (5:07) thinking that I could make it in the top 15. I had some bad information, though, because I quickly lost ground to a bunch of other guys. I think I ended up being somewhere between 30th and 40th. I think I was the last guy to beat the top woman finisher. Costa beat me again, this time by 26 seconds. I guess we ran the same pace from the 5k 2 weeks ago. Still, I'm glad I did this race.

I thought they were going to have shuttles to bring us back to the start, but I guess I was wrong. I shuffled around the Summerfest grounds trying to get warm for about 20 minutes (it was pretty damn cold) before I gave up and just ran back. So that was my cool down.

Ok so I just found out that I got 18th. I don't know why I'm so bad with numbers. Also, the law school team got first for the academic division, so that's cool.
