I ran the 5 km LifeStyle race yesterday, part of the WRACE serie. There was a 5 km run and walk and a 10 km events.  Since many people serious about running went for the 10 km race, that left fewer competition on the 5 km race. I did pretty good, running faster than at my last race (according to my GPS, not the official results) at a pace of 4:23 min/km.

Final result: finished 3rd overall out of 79 participants. I thought I would be 2nd, but a guy passed me from nowhere 200m before the finish line.

My friend Craig surprisingly could wake up early enough to join me for the race. He did very good too! He actually had a very exciting finish, passing someone right on the finish line. Here are a few pictures.

Here, I am receiving my medal from Miss Teen Ontario , then chilling out after the race.

NOTE
In order to keep track of my race results, I have added a “race results” section in my “Fitness Log” page.
