Interview Skills Redux

Well, my Hood to Coast team is now on the short list for the HTC documentary. So we had a second meeting with the HTC documentary people at the same place, this time, on film. It's exciting to think I could be on film. We played another round of miniature golf. I think the camera, as Dan said, added two strokes, at least to my game.

Iris Festival 10K

I ran my second 10K on Sunday. The Iris Festival takes place in Keizer each year and gets its name from the Iris fields that the area is known for. I ran the 10K with Thomas, while Dan and Tim ran the half Marathon (twice as far).

This run was a much flatter, dryer, warmer race than my first. I ran sub 9 minute miles, which amazed me. I'm really pleased with my progress and proud of the results. When I arrived, I was given bib number 1. The organizers said that it came with some expectations. I was the only one in my age division (25 - 29), so I received a first place ribbon. Expectations met?

If Dan puts pictures up somewhere, I'll link to them.
