Someday I will run 5 kilometers at a pace faster than I do for the half marathon. Today was not that day!

Teren won easily in 15:19, then Josh McCabe just in front of me in second (15:42). Felt flat on my warmup and never got going. Teren and Josh were way up (~20 seconds) on me at the 2-mile mark, and Josh was coming back to me in the last quarter mile, but my kick was non-existent again.

Splits - 5:03, 5:00, 5:11, 28.

Gotta kick this sinus infection. It doesn't affect me too much on easy stuff, but I feel like it affects me a little more when I try to run fast.

Fun cooldown with Andrea, Sandy, Ashley, Sasha, Benjamin, and Steve.  

Andrea took some pictures and snapped a few of some other bloggers: Murray 5K Photos

 

AM - 9 miles [2 up, 3 race, 4 down].
PM - 4 miles in West Yellowstone.

Great job for being sick! As you know, sickness can really affect race performance. Nice work. Happy 4th!

Sick or not, I need to get it in my head to KICK!

From Matt Poulsen on Thu, Jul 04, 2013 at 10:12:10 from 98.202.242.213

You will! Just takes practice.

Nice race Jake with the sinus infection. Nice to meet you and run the quick parking lot loop warmup.

From Rob Murphy on Thu, Jul 04, 2013 at 11:03:45 from 24.10.249.165

I'm sad I couldn't race with the cool people today.

Great job, Jake. Those little annoyances always suck the speed out of you. Get well and have a fun weekend.

Nice race, today. Especially being sick. I hate sinus infections! At least you were sick at the Murray Fun Days and not at Grandma's!

From Tara on Thu, Jul 04, 2013 at 14:27:42 from 75.169.138.91

Great job. Have fun on your trip!

Nicely done Jake.

From mike⇒nelson on Fri, Jul 05, 2013 at 07:47:22 from 68.112.111.234

Nice work. 5K effort with a head cold / sinus pain is a rough combo.

From MarkP on Fri, Jul 05, 2013 at 09:29:12 from 75.169.8.9

Tough course with good competition--good way to spend the 4th!

From allie on Fri, Jul 05, 2013 at 11:28:02 from 97.126.209.84

someday i will run 5k faster than MP...someday.

nice race yesterday -- i hope you can kill the sinus infection soon. we have like 45 half-used bottles of flonase if you are interested. i hope a doctor doesn't read this.

have a fun weekend.

From Matt Poulsen on Sat, Jul 06, 2013 at 21:53:00 from 98.202.242.213

Allie, a doctor just read this. And, he thinks that is one funny post!

From Josh E on Sun, Jul 07, 2013 at 21:06:17 from 75.169.31.22

Nice race Jake. Thanks Andrea for the photos. She does a great job.

From Jake K on Sun, Jul 07, 2013 at 21:26:29 from 67.177.11.154

Thanks everyone. As Josh indicated, I posted some of the photos that Andrea took.

Wow - had no idea Sasha and family ran in actual Crocs :) Thought he was talking about some sort of weird running shoe that Crocs made...
