Fat Boy 5k - 28 March 2015

Overall Time: 17:59
Pace: 5:49
Age Group: 1/58
Overall: 3/824

I was admittedly coaxed into running this race by my beautiful wife.  I had just returned from spending three weeks in Midland, TX for work and was not prepared for this race.  My every intent was to use my GPS to maintain a 7min pace.

After the first mile, I realized I was clearly moving faster than this 7min pace, but felt great.  I paced with the third place runner until 1.5 miles and decided to make a move.  This could've easily blown up in my face since I hadn't been training to run as fast as I was.

I ended up crossing the finish line in third place with a final time of 17:59.  Overall, not too bad.
