Ran my first USATF race of the year and all the guns were out today! Dennis Simonitis, Sasha, Scott Keate, Steve Anderson, Steve Ashbaker, and Rob Murphey were all there. I did a warmup of 3 miles and she'd my clothes down to shorts and singlet. Very cold morning. The race started and I got right behind Jake Krong. My first mile was 5:11. Felt ok. I wasn't running strong like the late fall. 5ks are so not my forte. I can never figure them out. I always feel like just have to go all out but I fade still in the short period of time. Second mile was 5:28. I hit half mile to go and Dennis came up along side and passed me strong. I worked hard to stay close to him. I hot to the .1 to go and started pushing with everything I had. I did pass a younger kid but Dennis beat me by 8 seconds. I love competing against him. He is so athletic. Our times were blah but I'm glad to have run with all these fast guys! I always take running against the top guys serious as well even though their legs are 10-20 years younger than mine. I love comparing myself to Riley and Jake and seeing them run. It's going to be a fun year! 
After the race I went and did a film documentary shoot they have been working on for runners in Utah that are running Boston. Very fun! I'll post it when It debuts! 
We ended up running another 3+ miles

Not a bad race for an old skinny guy.
