My third race in ten days was another good one. The 5k cross country course at Mount Trashmore isn’t the fastest, but I managed to run a course record and finish fourth overall in 18:21.
At one stage I’d forced myself into third place, but I was out-sprinted (again) in the final tenth of a mile. Coincidentally, or not, it was the same guy who out-kicked me at the Hair of the Dog 5k on New Years Day. Maybe I can return the favor at the second race of the series on January 31st? I’ll certainly be trying…
Nice job! 3 races in 10 days, whew! Hope you get another chance to outkick that guy 🙂
Meet him in a dark alley…
Congrats on taking my record by 0.6 seconds. Can I have a Samichlaus???
John: was it 0.6 seconds? I had no idea!
I’ve only got one Samichlaus left – saving it for the 25k….
How’s the winter sports? When’s your next race?
Yep, During our duel in 2007 I finished in 18:21:70. Been doing some skiing to ensure my knees stay sore. Other than that looking forward to the Shrock 8K and Half.
Good luck at the 25K and hope you bust your PR and can drain the Samichlaus.
Let me know when you place another order. I’ve looked everywhere and have been unsuccessful to date…..
Very nice work. Great time!
