A 5k race that was a little over 5K. Finish time 17:51 but it was also a foam run and I wiped out about 10 feet from the finish line and took me 10 seconds to get up lol My watch says I came through 5k in 17:35.

The first 1/4 mile and last 1/4 was in deep wet grass and the rest was in pavement. That's a rough transition and I went out way too fast for it. Weather was perfect though and I took the overall win which is always nice. My next race is a 4 mile trail race at the end of the month.

Congrats on the win and another nice 5K kawasa. Photos of the wipeout?

3.3 mile shakeout today, racing 10 miles tomorrow and it's going to be a warm and windy one.

No, my wife couldn't even see me finish because there was foam six foot deep in the ten yards leading to the finish. As I came around the corner and saw that I thought "Oh this isn't going to be good." It was not. I was just glad no one was in the foam lol

Good luck!
