I had a great race today! I PRed by 5 seconds, that doesn't sound like much but I sure had to work for it! Overall I did great 3rd place in the race and 2nd in my age group!!! Last race I did in Davis I had the runners high, today not so much. I felt like I was dragging ass the whole time and it felt like a struggle, (I do have a head cold though). I started out a little too fast and I knew it. There was a lady in a white bunny outfit on a bicycle that I had to chase the first 3/4 of a mile, that didn't help. My first mile was a 5:47! Then after that it dwindled a little every mile. I'm just not a very "experienced" racer. (3rd half ever) At around 6 miles I noticed that I was way ahead of my 10K PR time, now I know how I need to run for that! Overall I had a great race and a lot of FUN! The weather couldn't have been better! Made some new friends and enjoyed the competition! Great job to Alisyn G. today for her great time and running a half mary on her Birthday! Great job as well to Katie A. for her 3rd in age group placement.


Great job Matthew! (I was one of the volunteer photographers out there today.)

Congratulations! Amazing time and 3rd place? Great job! Hopefully I can get my 1/2 time down in that vicinity. It's gonna take a lot of work though.
