Run Like Hell 5K - Unofficial results

It rained today. I thought turnout wasn't going to be that good. As Max and I approached the starting line before the race, it looked practically deserted - only a few volunteers hanging around, with still 15 minutes until race start.

But we found all the runners, along with my dad, waiting under an overhang at the Pioneer Place Mall, a half-block from the starting line.

Lots of folks in costume. Max and I just wore the event t-shirt, which I'd picked up yesterday.

The course was mainly flat, and fast, just as they'd predicted. And I pretty much rocked the course! I believe my unofficial chip time is 28:05, or a 9:02 pace. However, my watch messed up when I tried to save the time - it told me it was "full" and only saved part of the results, even after I'd cleared out a few previous runs. Damn. Now I'm doubting that I did that well.

Can't wait for the official results to be posted...

Oh, and Max finished a good two minutes before me. Which should surprise nobody; he's been training hard for baseball. And he's also 26 years younger than me and about 60 lb lighter! Congrats, Max! Definitely a personal best for both of us!
