My Garmin says I ran it in 34:45. My clock time (not chip-timed) was closer to 44 minutes because it took us almost 10 minutes to cross the start line. I ran most of the race and just stopped for 1 minute after mile 1 and 2 and at the water stops.
My dad was actually behind me the whole race and caught up to me just before the 3 mile mark. I tried to keep up with him but I just didn't have it in me, so he finished just before me. There went my one chance to beat him in a race! =P
Jason ran with a flip cam taped to his bike helmet and recorded the whole thing, so he should have some footage up someday from that as well as all the still photos.
After the race, everyone came back to our place for pizza and beer and to relive the event. We watched Jason's footage and looked at all the pics. Everyone had a great time and I'm so glad we did this and had 2 team members run their first 5k!
Stats:
- garmin - 3.16 in 34:45
- clock - 43:50
- mile 1 - 11:04 (clearly started out too fast)
- mile 2 - 11:36 (faded a bit; this is where most of the walking happened I think)
- mile 3 - 10:33 (found my 2nd wind and tried to beat dad)
- finish - 9:40 (1:31 - gave it all I had to try to beat dad, but it was just not enough)
