Comments: I had two goals for today's race: break 35 minutes and run every mile under seven minutes. I accomplished both. In fact, I ran about a minute faster than I expected. My legs were a bit trashed from yesterday's efforts at the Bog Slog.

I started out a bit fast, but it's hard not to when the 5k is mixed in with the 5-mile. I slowed a bit over the middle of the course, but the last mile was my fastest. I even managed to sprint past two guys at the finish. Here are my splits:

Sometimes I feel like I'm breathing underwater.
