The Carrollton Runners Club 5K

On Sunday, February 26, 2012, I ran in the Carrollton Runners Club 5k at McInnish Park in Carrollton, TX. I was still recovering from a few injuries so did not run in the one mile race like I normally do. It was 40 degrees and clear at the 7:50am 5k start. This was a small group since alot of members ran at the Cow Town races in Ft. Worth. There were only 26 men and 15 female runners in the 5k, and 14 runners ran the one mile race. As I've said before race director Ruben Saguil has a timer at the half way mark and his race reports show your time for both halves of race. I ran the first half in 12:59 and the second half in 12:48, an 11 second negative split... which is ideal. My finish time was 25:46 with 8:17.9 pace and a 62.2% age grade. I finished first out of 2, 15th out of 26 men, and 17 out of 41 overall 5k finishers. After the race, two nice ladies led us all in some Yoga stretches. For only a $2 registration fee, this is the best bargain in racing. Check out Ruben's website at www.carrolltonrunners.com. They have the best race report around.
