From the left: Chris Tatton 2nd place overall, me 1st overall, and in the bottom corner thats not a bear, thats my son Harbor.
It was a sunny windy day in Coldspring and they changed the course a little from last year. This race is unique in many ways, you run past solid granite cubes bigger then SUVs. Then they make these custom bronze overall winner photos, that are really cool. They take a few weeks to make so when they send it to me in the mail I will upload the pic.
My first mile was 5:07 and I felt fine, we had a slight cross wind. The 2nd mile another 5:07 with gail force head wind. Then 3rd mile was 5:12 it was on fresh soft gravel and also had a strong headwind. My overall time was 15:55 almost a minute faster then last year.
Chris is cool, he did Ironman Wisconsin last year in 10:50 and has only been doing triathlons the last 2 years. This was also the second 5k Chris has ever ran. He and I are both coached by Derek Lindstrom of Beyond Performance.
