Fight Back 5K / 10K

Cape Girardeau, MO -- April 10, 2010
(Results @ Cape Road Runners: http://www.caperoadrunners.org/results.htm )

Entered this race after three months of rehabbing an injured hamstring.  Testing my fitness prior to next week's Azalea Dogwood 5K run.  Beautiful day to run as weather is 55 degrees and sunny prior to the start of the 5K/10K races.  Beginning at Arena Park and running a 5K loop.  Bramlett running the 10K today so he gets to double up on the loop.  I feel good and run splits of 5:55/5:40/5:47/:28sec for a 17:50 finish and OA winner of 5K race.  Bramlett shakes off the pack during the middle of his second loop and wins the OA title in the 10K.  Great day for the CBEM team and we get some nice "goodies" in the bags for our efforts.

Overall winners: Kevin Bramlett (10K) and Kevin Hammes (5K).
