Race: Utah Valley 2012 10k (6.25 Miles) 00:38:42, Place overall: 2, Place in age division: 2

  Woke up at six A.M, got changed and ran about 0.8 to the start of the Utah Valley 2012 10k. I stayed with the leader until just before mile one, then my (treacherous) shoe fell off and I lost about ten seconds putting it back on. By that time the leader was out of reach.

  I forgot to bring a watch, and with no visible targets, challengers or any indication of the pace other than pain, I lapsed into the 6:10-6:20 pace range. I still had plenty of juice for a kick in the last 300, which suggests I could have gone faster.

   Total time was 38:42, about a minute slower than hoped for, but still a respectable time. Overall place was second. (Snicker. The only reason I placed so high with a 38:42, was because almost everyone really fast,  all the "big guns", were competing in the half and full marathon. )

Me and my family did a 5k relay. All nine family members participated. Little 1 year old Stephen had the first two hundred meter leg in 1:41 (he got lapped). My 3-yearold brother, William, took the next two hundred meters in 1:12. Then my mom did two hundred in about 1:00. Next came the medium fast siblings: Jenny, Julia, Joseph and Jacob, each averaging about 5:30 pace for their 200s (41.25 200s). We actually made it to 1400 in 6:45. Not too bad considering the first quarter in 2:53 by William and Stephen.

  The remaining 3600 meters were left to me and my dad. We traded quarters, averaging 73s (4:54 pace), and started passing people like flies. Our finishing time ended up being 17:45.
