While up in Minnesota to pick up the boys over the 4th of July we headed over to Cross Lake Mn to participate in what turned out to be a great family event. Joining me in the 5K was Jamie, my sister, and cousin Jason followed by the boy's, my nephew and cousins daughter running the kids races. Was a great time even though my race wasn't the greatest but considering my lack of training over the last month it was still a pretty good time. The one issue I had was my left calf upper achillis cramped up something feirce with about .5 mi left in the race which dramatically slowed me down. I ended up second in my age group and 7th overall to a bunch of high school kids 15 & 16 years of age and the 2nd overall place was a 31 year old. Not a bad showing by 2 30 year olds placing in the top 10. The cramping may have been caused by to much fun in the sun Friday along with beer. GReat event overall!
