Anyway, a quick race recount:
According to Garmin, I did really well. According to the race people, not so much.
I started Garmin about 5-10 seconds before I made it to the start mat. I also forgot to stop him until I had made my way past those annoying people that try to get your chip and gotten some water, probably another 10-15 seconds.
So, in the world according to Garmin, I ran just over 54:00 and just under an 8:34 pace, broken down as follows:
Mile 1-7:56
Mile 2-8:11
Mile 3-8:25
Mile 4-8:54
Mile 5-9:20
Mile 6-9:07
I am pretty happy with my 5K time, under 25:00. Clearly, however, that first mile was way too fast for me and burned me out too soon. Lesson learned, again...
Now, according to the race folks, I was 54:09. I think that this was the clock time, not the chip time. Only the one time is posted and they are listing my pace as 8:44, which seems high. Either way, I beat my previous 54:52, so I don't really care.
Also, true to form, I came in right down the middle:
Age: 15/32
Sex: 84/156
O'All: 105/276
I have quite a bit of blog material from my day yesterday, both the race and my travels. I will try to get to the rest of it later today.

Yeah! Great race! A pr is a pr. You should be happy. And Happy B day Grams!
Why do I read all your blogs as though they're porn? There is a seriously pornographic line in this post. Did you intend it to be, or am I just twisted? Or both?
Well, well, well, I figgered out who ye'are.
Nice to put a face to the name. I had pictured glasses and some kind of scholarly look, but you are a fun surprise!
Cheers, Mr. CL.
