Ran this 10K in Hastings Minnesota because I actually ran against Nick in 8th grade as he was senior in high school. My college teamate Andrew Sorenson actual was a highs school teamate and friend of Nick's also. On the website if you go to the photo's section of Nick there is a photo of the two of us racing each other. We just happened to be heading to MN for the weekend to visit family and this race poped up on the list and I had to run it. I new it wasn't a very fast race going it to it so I thought I could possibly win it dependent on how many high school kids showed up. As expected one 15 year old raced the 10k and left me in his dust going up the Mississippi river bluffs in Hastings at about mile 4. There was no catching him after that even though he kept turing around looking to see where I was at. I came in a strong second place with no real worries of anyone catching me. First 3 miles where sub 6:10 so I think I could probably break 18 minutes in a 5k right now which is my goal this summer.
