Race Day!!!


So, here I am with my brother-in-law, Chris Wigginton, last Sat. We were headed to our first race of the season. It was supposed to be an indoor 5k at UVU, but it didn't exactly turn out that way. Whomever was in charge of laying out and measuring the course really screwed up. We had a map to follow but really paid more attention to the orange cones that were laid out along the course. Before we knew it, we were back where we started and two girls clocked us and gave us a time. It was my one-mile pace. I asked if we were supposed to run the course again, two more times, and they said, no, we were done! What?!?!? 9:40 for three miles? Yeah, I don't think so. Anyway, we found out later that the measuring device used to guage the distance had malfunctioned. Um, that's kind of a lot to be off. Two miles off? The guy in charge suggested we tell everyone that we set new PR's and just not mention the jacked up distance...
Well, it was interesting and a different start to the race season!!! only 6 weeks left until the Provo Half:)
