2007 Alaska Interior Invitational 5K Run

Here's how I trained for the 2007 Alaska Interior Invitational 5K Run. I was in Alaska with the BYU-Hawaii Cross Country team (as a chaperone/driver), and after one of their meets there was an open race for the community. My goal was to finish in under 18:00, which was a fast goal, but one I thought I could do. I finished in 19:23, which was a bit of a disappointment for me, but I was 2nd overall. The coach for the Hawaii Pacific Cross Country team won, and I tried to keep up with him as much as I could before letting him go. In my defense, the course was really hilly, and I hadn't done any speed work in a while. But it was fun.

Complete results here.

Note: The decimal places are seconds, not hundredths of minutes. It was too hard to figure out how to do seconds in Excel (of course, what do you expect from Microsoft products?). So, for example, if you see 20.50, that means 20 minutes and 50 seconds, and not 20 minutes and 30 seconds.
