Comments:
Ran the 2011 Rose Run. Like last year did the 5k and then teamed up with Matt and Dad to do the 5 mile relay. This year we all did both so I ran the 2 mile segment again.
The 5k felt okay. This guy about my age pushed it from the gun and I went with him. Was about 10 meters clear at the mile in 5 flat. He caught me during mile 2 and we ran together till about 3.5k at which point I surged going down a hill and broke him. Won in 16:50. This is 10 seconds better than last year and the pacing was all over the place. Also I've run 2-3 weeks less this year leading up to this so I'm pretty pumped that I was faster. The competation was by far better this year as last year I won by around 30 seconds.
Splits: 5:02, 5:44, 5:30, 33.9
In the relay I ran the middle section of 2 miles. I forgot to start my watch when I got the stick from dad so theres no time. I should have started it. I ran probably 45 minutes or less after finishing the 5k. We were in like 6th over all and the 3rd team when I got it. I just tried to pass people the whole way. I don't think I was going all out during it. Got us all the way up to 2nd overall when I handed off.
Pretty good. Its nice to race but thats it for the summer. Next time I go all out is the time trial.
On a light note I won a cup full of candy. Much better than the bag I got last year that I never use.
