There were a lot of people there, I am thinking around 200. The race started good a little windy, but nothing too bad. My pace in the beginning was around 5:30 minutes per mile and after looking at that I decided that I needed to slow down. When I race I try to run my last mile faster than my first that helps me from going to fast in the beginning. But I was feeling good and wanted to push it a little. So I took a risk and tried to keep my per mile pace around 6.00. It was funny I passed this high school kid and the guy behind me told him not to let me pass. But I passed and I was able to gain a little on him. And that same kid caught back up with me and passed me, but he timed it wrong and I was able to use him as a shield from the wind. I am not sure if that was that cheating, but that is what happened. The first place finisher was a BYU college student and there were a lot of High school students. I am happy with the race. My per miles average was 6:03 and that is a PR for me. After the race my wife told me what happened when I was running into the finish line. She said that the announcer was saying "I know this person and that person up to me and when he seen me coming in he said that he did not know me and that we should cheer me in." I guess the way he said it was really funny. Thanks for reading and have a great day…

Thanks Jeff, it was a good course to run because it was a flat.
