Ollie 5 mile

I would just like to thank all the cms men who ran the Ollie today. I finally found the results, and we managed 4th as team. I was fearing much worse, as the race seemed to be incredibly loaded, and I was hoping to run better. Looking at the team scores, Dan and Jim really bailed us out. GBTC had us beat for the first 2 runners, but our 1-5 spread was much tighter. It would have been nice to beat Whirlaway, but they ran quite well today.

As far as my race went, I felt decent through the 1st two miles in 4:55 and 10:05, made up some ground on the hill at 2.5, but faded the last two miles. I lost about 10 seconds in the last mile alone. Coming into the finish, Scott Lundquist from CSU passed, and I made the mistake of trying to duel with him over the last 100 meters. Scott has much more leg speed than I, and just kept cranking up the pace every time I got to his shoulder. I was ready to pass out by the time I hit the finish.
