5k race today
« on: November 20, 2021, 11:18:23 AM »
10:13 at the half, then a headwind all the way back 10 mph. Finished in 22:28. I was hoping, but then hit the wind.

Nice work.
I would get drunk on Bud Light with Dylan Mulvaney.

Thanks again. I really wanted to get 21 something and I thought I had it when I came through the half, but I didn't think I'd slowed that much, but wind really does a number. I registered for a 10k Thanksgiving so that's the next one.

Good run, congrats.

Thanks! BTW my nemesis is this awesome 10 year old kid. He must be all of four feet eight. He ran a 21:20. I was speaking to his parents at the start (didn't realize it) when I thought at the starting line that this little kid looked familiar. It was the same kid who kicked my butt a few weeks ago when I made the mistake of trying to keep up and blew out by running a 6:15 the first mile. I tried to stay with him again and did through the half when he blew me away. I told him in front of his parents and they all laughed "Rematch!" and congratulated him.
