It's official

The official results are in from Saturday and they confirm that I actually did run 18:37, as hard as that is to believe. The road from 19:49 to 18:37 this year included seven five kilometer races, in four of which I set new post-high school personal records.

February 23: 19:49 (PR)
April 26: 19:12 (PR)
May 10: 19:51
September 1: 19:59
October 11: 19:16
December 6: 19:11 (PR)
December 13: 18:37 (PR)

Along the way, I ran more than 1000 miles this year, rode 1500 miles on the road bike, set a PR in the short-course duathlon (and won my age group), ran more than 40 interval sessions, and almost kept up with my friend Michael. On balance, I would say that this has been a pretty productive year. Thanks to Charles for the challenge and to both Charles and Gordon for the competition and encouragement.
