Last weekend, to kick off the fourth of July, Mary Grace and I ran in a 5k. The Fireball Classic 5k on UT campus in Knoxville. The course was flat, following the Tennessee River on Neyland Drive. The race was well attended with 1064 people completing the race. Actually, it was crowded. Like a big state fair next to the river.
Unfortunately, Mary Grace and I didn't perform as well as we wanted. We have been doing all of our training in the morning, and race was in the evening, starting at 9pm. So that was a big difference. The weather was also hot and muggy. I finished 331 with a time of 25:12. Mary Grace came in at 767 with a time of 32:12. My younger brother Jesse also raced and, wouldn't you know, he beat me by a few seconds. If you want the full results, check out the KTC results page, or the direct link. You can also find results for a previous race in which Mary Grace and I ran.
Our next race is the Scholar's Run, August 16 2008, the same day as our five year anniversary.
