MPS 5k
Did a 5k this morning. The race was held in the morning. The temp was 82 degrees and the humidity was probably just as thick. I started out good, but withered away slowly. I lost about three minutes when I stop help hydrate a 12-year old boy that was just about passed out on the side of the road. I finished the race in less than stellar time, but I finished, and had to wait around for about an hour for the medals. We thought my running partner came in third in her age group, but actually came in seond since the first place finisher was actually male.
The race was for a good cause (see below)., and one that I was not familar with until today.

Running for a cause always makes the race that much sweeter.
Congrats on the finish and for helping out that youg kid. I'm sure he and his parents probably appreciate that a lot more than you would the few minutes you lost on the course. Great job.

The first time you do something - It's going to be a personal record!
Nice job Rob, on several levels.
Nice thing about my area....no chance of running a race in 82 degree temps.

It knows it must outrun the fastest lion or it will be killed.

It knows that it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve.
It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle
when the sun comes up you'd better be running.

Sounds like you help a lot of folks out on the run today - poor kid with the dehydration! Rough time of year for racing on the east coast.
Good job!
