After today's race, all my future 5K times have to be under 23:40 to make my Top Three PRs. I pulled out a 23:37 tonight in warm conditions (77F) against over 7,000 participant runners and walkers.
I tore out in 7:27 and followed it with a 7:42 and 7:41 plus the change. The first mile was a second best race mile on my ledger.
So much for the numbers. I had about nine beer coupons from my teammates who left, to make the evening complete down there on the field of the Citrus Bowl afterwards. I only used two of them. Honest.
My name is David (Dylan to some). I am a runner.

23:40 - awesome!
I guess we best be calling you Speedy Gonzales dos Cervesas.
Nice race!
It's really interesting that all of that excellent preparation work you did for the Atlanta Marathon had it's greatest effect on your 5K (or first mile) time. I always used to think that training for marathons taught you to run slow. But your excellent "fast twitch" improvement as a result has me re-thinking. Nice job.
Great job David.
Good work!
you know, you're awesome! great job, congratulations on a 23:37 finish!!
fantastic david! there were nine beer coupons on the wall, on the wall....
