Was 29-30 seconds faster then last year. Mentally wasnt in when i arrived something felt off. Never really locked into race mode but somehow put down this time. Which im happy about. I didnt think id be that close to breaking in 17s or id have pushed a little more. Overall legs and body felt good. Handled the hills pretty good. Wasnt catchin top 2 they were in the 15s. Took over 3rd about 1.5 miles in. Body did seem to know where to go which was wierd since only ran course once before.

Scottdale Fall Festival 5K finished third overall with
1802. Share the medals real quick.
This is the finisher's medal. It's got the Scottdale 5K logo,
just finishing it on the back and overall awards the eighth
(00:25):
groups the same thing, they're just bigger.
I'm shaking comparison size and see what it's really about an
inch bigger. So I guess it was a good day.
I can't really complain. The two people were ahead of me.
(00:45):
Were. In the 15 minute 5K marks, so
that's way out of my reach mobility, so I can't really
complain about that at all. Yeah, I'll take third that
competition. When I got there, the sun felt
(01:07):
off. I just, I don't know, maybe it
was too early, maybe I ate some back too, whatever, but I just
felt off and not into it. When I got out of my car, I was
feeling a little bit feeling pretty good to get in the car
though. Before I got there, I usually
got myself pumped up a little bit, but as soon as I got there,
(01:29):
the switch seemed to turn off. I was just like, oh shit, this
is going to be a long race. It just, it just felt like my
body wasn't going to cooperate. But I guess it really did in the
end because I knocked 30 secondsoff 2930 seconds off from the
time last year. I believe last year I was just
(01:50):
looking it was like 1831, so I was some change.
So it was 18 O2 and whatever this year.
So just call it 29 seconds, whatever.
So definitely happy about that. I mean, I am getting faster
(02:12):
again, getting back in shape because I didn't last year.
I really wasn't in the best shape mentally or physically.
So I'm getting back to where it should be.
So this is like the third week in a row.
Well, I'm right around that 18 or sub 18 mark.
So that's very nice to be able to do that for three weeks in a
(02:33):
row. Kind of broke 17 today.
Yes. I didn't think I was going to be
able to. So a little after a mile too let
off the gas just a hair and thenI was, I was coming in, I could
see the clock with like 15 seconds left and I'm like, oh
(02:55):
shit. I was like, could have got it,
could have got it, could have got it was like, did he get it?
Did he hit it? They're like, Nope.
So if I didn't run off the gas, I'd definitely get it.
You know, I'm under 17. But as I said, going in, I
didn't think that was a possibility because last year I
did an 1831 or 18. Yeah, whatever I just said.
(03:22):
So I wasn't expecting to do so close to 17, maybe around, you
know, 1820 at the best, you know, it's a little better, but
whatever. Because the course is hard.
I'm not going to lie. It's got a couple 100 feet a
week and right away you're starting uphill for basically a
(03:45):
mile. I would, I would say the whole
first miles I barely know there is some terms where it sort of
flattens out, but you really still going uphill, especially
the first three to 4/10. I would actually say it is a
really good climb to start a race.
So you got to make sure you're rolled up pretty good beforehand
and you're just going to burn upor if you go off way too fast
(04:09):
early on, you're going to burn up.
A lot of a couple of people go out the gate.
I wasn't going to try to keep off because I know a couple were
doing the 10K because there's a 10K as well and a walk.
Since I was only doing fine, I knew some of them to front and
(04:32):
Teds, I don't care about them atall.
I was just going to let them take off and not burn myself
off. You know, trying to do anything
with them. Well, my buddy Brandon was one
of those guys I know I can't keep all the time, so there's
good point for a couple of tents.
(04:59):
The race pretty much shook out the way it ended and it's
written there's three people outahead of me.
So it's the two first place 5K guys, Brandon and then me and I
think the guy who ended up finishing fifth.
And I don't know what was reallygoing on behind me because I was
(05:24):
looking back. I was mostly focused on front in
front of me. I was just letting the two guys
in front of me go, not trying tokeep up the bat.
The one guy was wearing like cargo shorts.
It was the timer guy. 4th Creek.I didn't realize it was him
until after he finished. So I was just like, oh, he's
(05:44):
going to fade eventually, you know, wear a cargo shoe and
stuff like that. But I didn't realize who it
actually was. So that was his board judgment
on my behalf. But I still wouldn't have been
able to catch him, so there was no point in me playing that
game. And the guy rocks with Mile mile
(06:05):
and 1/2. He went back and forth a little
bit on the hills I drafted off before forbid and then wherever
I finally went past them for good, it's on a hill and then I
just damped from there. The rest of the field.
(06:30):
I would say it was somewhere around the 5K and 10K split.
That's what I just finally went around in the 3rd place.
Like I said, there's somewhere, there's a hill in that area and
that's just when I went around some of the drones.
(06:52):
I was like cutting them short and just the way our shadows
were and I was drafting off thatdive in a little bit.
I thought there was somebody right on my ass as well just
'cause I could see the shadow like big front on my left hand
side. So then the one time I did look
back, I said editor and I said, oh, there's nobody there.
(07:12):
I realized it was a shadow and not an actual other person.
So I was more focused on what was the guy that I was running
beside and still keeping an eye on.
The first couple people were at that time, I could still see
everybody. I think I wanted to talk to
(07:40):
roughly probably around about two on site.
There's like a a longer flat stretch and then we do like an
actual little decline before we hit some residential like
housing. It like more going around a
(08:01):
little block area. I'm trying to describe it.
I'm trying to think how to say it, but that's when I lost steam
when we did this little turns you on the blocks.
She figured they're 2 minutes ahead of me.
I'm up two plus minutes. Eventually I'm going to not see
them any more. So Bob, I would say 2 miles into
(08:21):
what I've lost them because they're still dropping 5.
So I'm just, you know, in 6 minutes, just after 6 minutes.
So you know what I mean. You can't after a while, you
can't really see somebody. 2 minutes penny from 1/2 and 1/2,
whatever. And I was worried about the one
(08:45):
guy I was running with. Early on.
He looked like he was in really good championship.
I was just like, no, I was just going to be a long race if I off
the race and home, I didn't racing engine and I was trying
to put that plan into my head. Should I draft them the whole
race and then in the last coupletents going around them and save
some energy? Or should I just try to do my
(09:08):
race and keep steady and see what happens If he's going to
try to keep off board, just try to turn and burn a gap.
So I was playing around with that a little bit trying to
figure out a strategy and I justkept steady and and like I said,
it's once a hill came, it was just like my time to see drop
(09:29):
back a little bit to save some energy.
I don't know what happened thereon out between 4th and 5th.
They hit jostle on positions. So I'm not sure when 4th is.
(09:51):
You guys have finished fourth and 5th switch position.
I'm not sure exactly when that happened because I didn't see
that because I wasn't holding back often enough to see it
happen after mile two or four. Mile 2, I guess because I didn't
really see anybody after mile two behind me just because of
(10:11):
the way we're going in and out of the walks and stuff.
I didn't send send the course, Iguess to my watch before the
race, just for the turns. I was going to use it for the
elevation chart, so I knew what the heels were going to be when
(10:35):
I did a body plug in at that at all.
I don't think I looked up my split in the first mile.
I know I saw it at the second mile, but I can't remember what
it was, but I remember watching them off and looking down.
So that was really the only timeI wanted to play with my watch.
(10:57):
And it hit water at the first aid station, the second aid
station, which wasn't again hillon a hit a little bit of a hill
I grabbed too as I hail on both took double water and then I
dumped the cup and a half openedmy body neck now wet, shirtless
because it was a little bit hot.So I'm about to bring my shirt
(11:19):
today that I was like my race shirt, which would have kept me
a little bit more cooler becauseI could have kept the moist.
But I did try to keep myself moist before the race and put
water into my head, you know, tried to make my calves thinking
shorts back as well before the race.
(11:39):
So it was like starting off a little bit cooler and wet
started running more efficientlyduring the race.
I took one nice big movement before the race started.
I tried to take one before I left for a little one.
Then when I got there, I think food that I eat last night
(12:02):
decided to go out of me. I had Krobe's at the Bossy last
night at the Slim Ball Fest and then I had two machines, hot
dogs for supper. So luckily I had that album
before the race started. Let's probably why it was a
little bit out of it at the beginning still never felt in it
in it walked in during the race at all.
(12:25):
So it's kind of shocking with that.
Eighteen, 01/18/02. Engaged in the race.
Especially is how hilly this race is.
Definitely happy with my time. Not sure if it's better because
(12:46):
you know, you get all that uphill to start, but then you
get some downhill later on. So I don't know I evened out the
times that way or not, but I'll take it.
My legs actually felt good aftera while too.
I would say after a while they felt better.
I was breathing a little bit heavier than I would expect.
(13:13):
I sent it to take my beat out ofthis morning.
I don't know if I ever really red.
Line and I. Know like the first couple of
miles was definitely pushing a little bit, just trying to stay
ahead of everybody. I don't think if I let off the
gas early on and maybe try as hard as I did early on, I
(13:33):
wouldn't have finished third. I mean, like I said, it is a it
is a fun course, but it is also a hard course as well, just with
all the couple 100 feet of gain.And it might not seem like a lot
(13:57):
overall, even for 5K, but the way it's set up and how it
starts makes it a lot harder. But there is plenty of
volunteers on the course pointing in the right.
I don't want to say pointing in the direction direction, but
making sure you're going in the right direction.
There's arrows on the ground, yellow and.
Red it was. Clearly marked for the split of
(14:26):
the five and 10 Ki mean the course is open.
It's not a completely closed course, but there's really no
traffic on it except in the lastcouple of tents.
Probably because that's where people started waking up the
brain. But as I was running it, even
(14:49):
though I wasn't looking at my map like I planned or the old
beach as hard as I planned, it just felt like I knew where to
go even though I've only ran this race once.
I don't know if it was because of the arrows or the people that
you'd see ahead of me. But yeah.
(15:12):
For some reason it just felt like I knew what to come,
whatever what I was supposed to do.
Could I have done anything differently?
Not really. I mean I could have bought, let
off the gas a little bit, but itwouldn't have made a difference
in placement. It just would have helped with
(15:35):
my time just to tag maybe 1015 seconds maybe.
I could have probably saved. I don't know if I had done
anything more than that without blowing up.
Who knows. And I definitely needed to save
(15:55):
some earlier on in the race or later.
So I was being a little bit smarter.
I took some clips afterwards on the finish line, maybe like 30
to 40. Had the pizza this year.
(16:15):
You got some banana pepper pizza, pepper ginger ale to chow
down the gay area. Mill was another record crowd
for them. What did he say in the beginning
was like 271 last year registration it could be 271
when I was talking to her. So they were pushing 3, but I
(16:36):
think they got three if they I couldn't be mistaken, or if the
final numbers were, it was good.Crowd time I.
Guess didn't walk around the festival for a couple of minutes
(16:59):
after I just bought some big asspeanut butter pawn barns.
Probably shouldn't have bought them, it looks so good.
They were good. I ate one already but we need
help other than that since it helps.
(17:19):
People have fun.

(02:12):
again, getting back in shape because I didn't last year.
I really wasn't in the best shape mentally or physically.
So I'm getting back to where it should be.
So this is like the third week in a row.
Well, I'm right around that 18 or sub 18 mark.
So that's very nice to be able to do that for three weeks in a
(02:33):
row. Kind of broke 17 today.
Yes. I didn't think I was going to be
