BYU Rex Lee 5K

Another fun 5K! I steadily went up the hill and slowly caught everyone. The front pack held it together for a while and I slowly caught up at around 1.5 miles. They started to slow down so I took up the pace and went ahead on the last mile. There was bad marking at one turn towards the end and I had to turn around. Lost a lot of steam and barely lost 1st Place due to that. Turns out the way I was going initially was correct according to their map. Bummer. But fun overall!

The race was long due to their confusion around the difference between the 10K and 5K starts and finishes. Got a time of 16:39 for a 5K, so feeling pretty great about that! Time to kick it into gear and get a PR!

Race Start

Just before the race, I gave Flo some big hugs. With each race, she is more confident that she will run with me when she's bigger. We're gonna start signing her up for the shorter kid races that some of these events have.

Attractions!

The field inside the track was filled with all kinds of attractions. Enormous bouncy houses, live music, and booths from all kinds of companies giving out prizes. The kids got balloons, duck toys, and Nu Skin samples (not sure what to do with those though).

Flo and Lawrence had a blast going around everywhere. They even got to pet someone's dog.
