It's just a quick sprint so nothing crazy, running a 5K then biking 10 miles and swimming 400 yards.
With just over a month to go, he ran in his first official 5K. A good friend at works wife was diagnosed with ovarian cancer back in May. As a fundraiser they put on a 5K up in Cottonwood Heights Saturday morning.
Andrew felt pretty confident he could finish in under 25 minutes and had been consistently doing that each morning leading up to it. But turns out Cottonwood Heights is higher in the mountains than Provo. Meaning there's less air to breath and even more hills. He still finished in 25 minutes and 27 seconds. 53rd place out of over 450. And 10th in his age division (20-24) of 25. And about 10 of those were UVU or BYU track runners, so I feel okay about it.
Good job Andrew...so maybe you'll run a half-marathon or something with me sometime? : ) It'd be fun.
