I wasn’t really expecting much out of the race and my finishing time showed it: 26:21 Despite having one of my slowest 5k times in recent memory, I was pleased with my technical approach to the race.

I have been trying to catch as much of the Olympics as I can. I totally missed the women’s marathon on sunday and was pretty bummed about that. I did catch some of the track heats last night as well as watching the US men’s take 1-2-3 in the 400m Final, that was pretty cool. [...]
