This was my third time doing this race and my last race of 2011. I really wanted to finish under 20 minutes this time. If the course was flat, I think I would have made it -- but this course wasn't flat. The weather was nice in the mid 40s, but the wind was blowing. I felt good about my effort and I did PR. 1:23 faster than my best 5k and 3:03 faster than my previous best in this race. So this was a good race for me.

After I crossed the finish line, I went back to find my wife and finish with her. She had a bad day. A side stitch slowed her way down, but she pushed it for the final stretch.
