Comments Found this low key race the other day, looked like it usually had a good turn out. This year was a down year mostly due to the torrential downpour from 8-10 am and 40 degree weather, making the warm-up miserable and the race sloppy. I didnt mind though. I saw a few decent looking runners at the starting line but was pretty sure I had a top 3 finish secured. Minutes before the race started some stud came running up to the front, sponsored by brooks. I've seen him before, he was at a previous 5k I ran around the same area and easily won in 15:20 before following that up with another 5k tempo run at 15:30 while I was cooling down. So I pretty much assumed I was racing for second. Race went out and I just got in a good position, stuck in the middle between the elite guy and everyone else. some guys tried pulling up on me around 2.5 but I just kept a good distance and kicked in hard. Not too hard of an effort but decent for the rolling hills and pouring rain. Took second and $100, now I can pay my speeding ticket and have some extra beer money for my thesis show next week. Brooks stud ran 15:55, the easiest 200$ of his life
