Today's Cougar Dash 5k was the first race I've done in Colorado.  It's been more than a year since I completed a 5k, plus for nearly three weeks I've felt like nine miles of bad road.  My expectations for the race weren't high.  At first, I wanted to not finish last; by the time I approached the start line, I simply wanted to finish.

I had some company during mile one.  I got lapped by several people during  mile two.  By mile three, I was all alone.  No sweepers, no audience, just me.  I finished in under an hour--dead last, but I finished.
