I really didn't know what to think about this race so I went in to it attempting to run a fast time for once. I didn't wear a watch and didn't hear any splits but ended up hitting a decent time by simply racing. From all accounts my splits looked something like 4:52, 10:15. That is probably the fastest mile I have run in about 2-3 years and the same goes for the 2 mile time, so I have to be happy that I was able to handle it and still finish well. That also means I was sub 5min for the final mile as well, which is great.
As far as the race itself I was happy and disappointed at the same time. I ran about where I should have, however I only came in 8th which means that it was a fairly stacked race. Unfortunately at least a couple of the top guys weren't even there, meaning that the championship race in November should be a tough battle for the top 10.
The team was 2nd, which gives us 2 first places and a second place. That ties us for first currently, meaning no matter what really happens the winner of the series will be the winner of the championship race.
In other news Dianna won, although her foot is still bothering her. Hopefully she can get that fixed because she has a perfect 300 points (3 wins) and leads the series. It was also excited this week because Jeff and Matt came down and ran, although Jeff only ran it as a workout, and on top Mario was here to cheer and take pictures!
The series is actually fairly deep this year. Here are the updated Dirt Dog Series Standings:
