Fun Turkey Day race.  Happy about my performance.  Didn't quite know what to expect given my last few weeks of craziness.  I did a tempo run last Saturday (which was my first speed session in 3 weeks), and I knew based on how that went that I am not in top form.  But, that's Ok... time to get in better shape.

My time for today's 4-mile race was 20:40 (5:10 average).  It was essentially a bone-flat 4-miler.  Splits:  4:57, 5:08, 5:24 (headwind, slight uphill), 5:04).  Mike won it in 20:04; he's in great shape and looked strong.  My hat's off to him.  A BYU cross country runner took 2nd, and Zak was 3rd in about 20:30.

I felt better as the race progressed.  I was in 6th place at the 3 mile mark, and I was able to gradually accelerate to the finish.  Given my current training and the wild last 3 weeks, I'm happy with how it went.

Definitely a lot of fun today.  Hanging out with many friends was the highlight.
