Garmin Ubuntu plugin update

The Garmin plugin I found for Linux Ubuntu 11.10 works with Ubuntu 12.04.  An added benefit is it works with Chrome now where it didn't for me in 11.10.  There is a bug in Garmin connect that doesn't allow you to add notes in calendar while using Firefox.  Plus I'm a Chrome man.

Lost and Found Grief Center 5K

Lost & Found Grief Center 5K

Thursday night was my first 5K since Turkey Trot last year.  Been running some descent interval workouts so figured I could run around 18:30 or so.  Ended up being a bit windy & warm which din't help a lot but still finished in 18:33 so close to what I thought.  Ended up 2nd overall first in 40+.  The guy who won was 20 so I got beat by a guy half my age.  Not everyday you can say that.

The race started & finished in Jordan Valley Park.  A pretty cool venue for a race.  Course was fairly flat with one little uphill toward end of first lap & finish.

Because of the downhill start I went out a bit fast running 5:39.  Was running with eventual winner & another guy.  Slowed a little too much second lap running 6:01.  not sure when exactly but lost the leader sometime after 2nd mile, maybe a bit before.  3rd mile was even slower in 6:10 but I blame this on lapped traffic.  Had to weave all over the place to get through.  Had lapped traffic the entire 2nd lap.  People were really strung out.  Not a big fan of lap course because of this reason.  Ran the hill to the finish strong to finish in 18:33.  Not great but I'll take it.
