SOUTH WEBER 10K

I run this local race annually.  It's a great little race and it's less than a mile from my house.  It's a hilly, point to point course with 255 feet of climb (mostly in first 2.5 miles) and 320 feet of drop (with like 60 feet of it in .05 miles). 

I wanted to run faster than last year.  Last year I ran 32:27, but the course was a tad short last year.  This year they added a tiny bit and it ended up perfectly measured on my watch. 

Splits: 5:12, 5:18, 5:22, 5:12, 5:05, 5:01, and 59 seconds for last .22 (4:33 pace) 

I negative split the course, which quite frankly is how the course is set up: 16:26 1st 5k and 15:45 2nd 5k.

I warmed up and cooled down with Ben, who won the 5k and also a bit with Angie who won the women's 5k.

They announced I had won $50.  I didn't open my envelope until I got home, and I was expecting to see a Grant in there, but was suprised when I saw a Benjamin instead! But hey, I'm not complaining!

Very nice - negative splits is the way to do it!

Great job - especially on the negative split and the pay day!
