AM - 7 miles. St. George 5k. I came into this pretty sore from yesterday's Kosmin so I was a little nervous on how I would do but it all seemed to work out fine. I got out quick and into the lead with Nick but then the 2 guys who took 1st and 2nd last year came up on us as well as a runner for AF and I dropped off from that group pretty quickly. I came through the first mile in 5:12 and the 2 mile in 10:40ish and then obviously finished in 17:03 so slowed down quite a bit throughout the race. After I lost the lead pack, I was just focusing on keeping a good pace and holding off Dallen, Alex, and Preston who I knew weren't far behind. I had solidified a pretty good lead after the first mile so they weren't ever able to catch me and so I finished 2nd in my age division and got a dope Sandstone plaque among other prizes. Just a really fun race but I'm super sore now.
