18:18 at draper days today -- 5:44, 5:42, 6:15, :38 i'm very happy about this and i feel like i finally had a race that i can call a success after several flops so far this year. this is also a 5k PR -- my previous PR on a flat and accurate course was 18:20 at tremonton in late 2010 when i was in decent 5k shape. the race was very fun and competitive as usual: 1-susannah hurst 18:03 2-janae richardson 18:09 3-stefanie talley 18:17 4-allie s'moore 18:18 5-devra vierkant 18:26 while i know that anything can happen in the marathon, i thought that if i could break 18:30 it would be a good indication that i am prepared for des news. i'm hoping the outcome of today's race means my goal of sub-2:54 is reasonable. then again, it's des news -- i could end up running 6:37.
