Melissa, Nick and I competed in the Mother's Day 5k on Sunday. Nick took 16th overall with a PR 17:34 (winning his age division). I managed a season best 18:14 (2nd in age group) and Melissa cramped up but still finished with a respectable 22:37 for 2nd in her age division, and her second best time.
On the track, Nick set a PR with a 5:02.9 mile, running 75/79/77/71 completely by himself. His primary competition for the state meet skipped the mile and ran the 800m, which was too bad, because this youngster ran 4:56 recently and Nick was hoping to get under 5:00. Nick came back in the 400m and set a season best 62.7, and then 10 minutes later ran a 2:28, taking 2nd to the Interlakes youth who ran low 2:20's.
Melissa cramped up in the last 2 laps of the mile and fell off pace, but still managed a 6:23, which ties her season best. She broke 3:00 (barely) in the 800m for a PR at 2:59.9, and then ran the next event, the 200m, at 33.2 for her first race ever at that distance. She wanted to go back and try the next heat of the 200 as well; I guess she is ready to start interval training on the track!
State meets are next for the kids, and Red Hook 5k for me.
