It was a good race. I rode downtown and on the bus to the starting line with Neal. Since the race ends up in Bronco Stadium, a lot of the runners were wearing BSU gear. So, I had to wear my Y visor.

I started out pretty fast, maybe too fast, and slowed gradually throughout the race. When I got to the stadium I turned it on as much as I could.

I had two goals. 1. PR. 2. Get in under 40 minutes. I made the first goal and missed the second by 4 seconds. I guess I can live with that.

Also, I shredded my 5k PR in the first half. My watch showed 19:40 at the 3.1 mark. Too bad it doesn't count. Gives me something to shoot for on Thanksgiving morning.

After the race we ate pancakes.
