Irish Scamper 5k

Guess what I did Saturday morning?  I won this clay cup and 2 loaves of banana bread!  My time was 15:51. My splits were 5:09, 5:15, 5:00 and change. It was a great race. Cold at the start, windy no matter the direction we ran.

I had to work the first half of the race to catch the guy out front. A college runner from South Dakota took it out quick. I like to build into a race. Once I caught the South D runner I kept a step or two in fron of him pushing the pace ans listening to his foot steps. Then after the 2 mile, there was a pretty good sized downhill and I made my first move then and opened up a gap. Then came the uphill section and I made my final escape.

With Janelle and our 3 kids cheering me to the finish, it made a great early spring race.
