Good news! Results are in for the 5K I did right before departing for Bishkek. Even greater news: I got first place in my age group! How about those apples. I was also the oldest there, so boo-yah!

Now, before you get all impressed, know that my time, according to the website, was 2:15. I think it was more like 2:00; the race started late, so I wonder. Oh well, I knew it wouldn’t be a speedy race with little to no training before it. But wow, what a slow time.
