Age Grade: 68.7%

Due to my procrastination, I got shut-out of the Poland Spring 5M; the old adage such as "if you snooze you lose" is most appropriate for all race registrations.  The 5K in Hoboken never occurred to me until Matt mentioned during drinks on Friday @ Emmetts that he'll do the race the next day and dressing up as a caddy.

Just wanting to get one more race under my belt, the 5K became a last minute decision.  Then I thought to myself if it would be wise to race the next day after imbibing in irish car bombs and a few glasses of Smithicks later.  I figured, what the heck it is a 5K but I would need to be in early for race day registration.  Luckily on race day, there were some spots left and at the end of the flat course (except for a slight and gradual ascension), I was able to grab my second fastest 5K of the year (7 seconds off my PR @ Founder's Day). 

I'm glad that I committed to the spur of the moment decision.  Afterwards drank a bit more in one of my favorite mixology digs at death & co. w/ buddy and teammate chris.  Now, no more drinks till race day; if so, it'll be a 2 drink maximum.
