| Got out to OC bright and early and met up with Nate who signed up for the 20k and we did a small warm up. Ran into J-hat, Danny, Bruce and Lance at registration. I hit the restroom one last time and was cutting it real close and had to drop my warm up clothes on a table there in the auditorium. The 30km was the first race to take off and not many showed up for it, maybe 5-10. I took off and grabbed the lead from the go.
J-hat snapped a few shots as I ran by him..he ran the 5k which was the last race to start. The course was set up on a 5k loop with a few tight turns and one turn around..by the time I got to the last lap I was getting pretty tired of the tight turns and turn around..
My goal was to try and get the all time OK Master record(1:49:28) and I was lucky enough to get it. Also picked up the single age..this was my first overall master record.
Danny was 2nd place in the 30km but was a bit shy of the Single age at 57. Bruce came in about 4th on the 30km and Nate ended up winning the 20km. J-hat had a nice 5k time as he is fixing to head out for Boston in a few weeks.
It was a really nice day and you could feel the wind on the back side but for Ok it was basically no wind at all.
I took 1 gu from about 10-20k nursing it.

Remember the 10 (3.107 Miles) 00:16:54, Place overall: 5, Place in age division: 1 | Slow miles | Fast miles | Total Distance | 7.65 | 3.12 | 10.77 |
| went up to Stillwater with Aaron, Amanda and Nate and met a few more friends up there for the Remember the 10 race. I wanted to do the 10k but decided that I would do the 5k with the weather and seeing how I am planning on racing the memorial marathon next weekend I figured it might take less out of me.
I was certain I made the right choice at race time. The wind was picking up and it was sticky muggy out. We took off and I about took a spill with Pistol Pete the OSU maskot that shot the gun for the start. It was a slight uphill for the first mile and I didn't feel 5k sharp at all. I ran behind Scotty, Nate and the dude that won the 10k for a bit till the 5k split off and the 5k was spread out pretty good by then. I could see the 2 OSU runners out front and Jazz wasn't too far behind them then it was Luis and me. Stayed the same pretty much through the race. I never could get out of 5:26ish pace.
had a nice time with some good running friends.

Oklahoma Memorial Marathon (26.2 Miles) 02:41:31, Place overall: 2, Place in age division: 1 | Slow miles | Fast miles | Total Distance | 0.00 | 26.44 | 26.44 |
| I got up to my normal parking spot a little later this year and found someone had already grabbed my spot. I ended up getting a real good one on 5th and Broadway which worked out perfect for my quick get away to Church services after the race. I had planned on hanging out in the pancake church till about 15 till start. I took my racing shoes and a bag up to the church and hung out and ran into Eric and his daughter, Jimbo and his son, and Roger. Roger question me about having a backpack which I totally goofed on that one... I hurried back to my car and decided to change there and leave my stuff in the car. Thomas my brother was going to be crewing for me along with my nephew Carl and Mary. I just hung out and waited for them to get there and gave them my Nuun bottles. Then we made our way to the pancake church and hung out there till about 15 till.
I got down to the start line and ran into a bunch of buddies. J-hat was doing the quick Boston turn around and I told him to get up there with me but he declined and hung out a bit behind.
I overheard Patrick Gomez saying to some of the 1/2 marathon guys what his plan was 5:22 pace. I knew there was no way he would be able to get the course record this day with the warm temps and wind this being his debut as well. I figured if he could run that pace I couldn't keep up with him anyhow... My plan was to try and go out at 1:16-1:17 on the first 1/2 and hope that I could hang on to that pace coming back and at least try to get the single age (2:37:ish) or the main goal all time master (2:36ish) both which I know I am able to run and in shape to run. The real challenges with these records are the weather vs the time of year the marathon is ran in OK.
We took off and Patrick took off with a big pack of 1/2 marathoners and I was running with a few myself.
We thinned out real good going down Lincoln towards the capitol. mile 3
After the 10k split I passed a Coyote going up gorilla hill and pretty much ran a solo race the whole rest of the way.
I had my crew give me water/nuuns at mile 7, 12 and 21. I hit the wind at lake Hefner and saw Patrick about 1-1.5 miles ahead of me going down Lake Hefner trail.
When I got down to S&S park Scotty D ran with me for about a mile. He was waiting at the relay station there.
I saw Craig Thompson at mile 10 and 18 taking pics. He gave me some encouraging words.
When I got down to mile 21 Mary told me that Patrick was 8 min. ahead of me. And I knew the hell I was fixing to pay going down Classen blvd into the wind for the next 3-4 miles. Toward the end of Classen I had a dude go flying past me and I realized he was the Tulsa Runner Relay guy. The last few miles were a real struggle and I basically went into survival mode. Jazz (OK Runner Relay) caught me and ran with me for about a 1/2 mile at mile 25 and I told him to go catch the Tulsa Runner Relay just ahead of us.. I found out later that 1st place Patrick Gomez was cramping pretty bad and I was catching up to him. He is a great runner and has a lot of talent and I was happy for him. I was impressed at the fearlessness he had going into the race..he was on pace at the 1/2 to get the record. He ended up only beating me by a couple of minutes.
