I found the whole "racing alone" thing to be strange as well. It was more of a mental strain to maintain pace when there isn't anyone else around. Also, cheering, man I missed that. In that last mile I would really have loved to hear some clapping hands and a voice saying "come on runners". Good race!

Terrific job. Eric's right - you're currently in 2nd place! That's a great time to start the season with. Glad you like the shirt, too. :) Steve -

You did great too! Thanks Eric. 5k PR for 2008, but the year is young :) Congrats on your race too by the way. You did my usual trick - crazy first mile and then hang on and suffer for the remaining 2.1 miles! All the 5k's I've run and I never learn.... Dave, thanks. According to Eric, it sounds like it will be an annual event. I'm sure it will only get bigger and better each year too. --Steve Charlie, not sure I was tearing up the course, but it was a lot of fun wasn’t it? You did great too!

Chances are, it will be done again next year. My company sponsored this event and was the driving force behind it. Chances are, it will be done again next year.

Are they going to do this again this year, or is it a once a year thing? It is a pretty cool idea. Great run Steve. Are they going to do this again this year, or is it a once a year thing?

I had a tough race. But, it was fun none the less. I would guess that's gonna place you second overall. We had a really fast runner at the live race. He ran it in 17 something. Great work man!
