I'm lucky enough to work for an organization that has a lunchtime 5k for its employees.  This fun run is organized/put on by employees.  

There is one fast guy in the building.  Last spring he ran a 5k that was about 5 minutes faster than my PR (but not near his PR).  He did not take off at the start but went out slow and asked what pace I wanted.  He said he was pacing me for the race.  Thanks Fast Guy!!!! :)   I've twice run 20:00 but never broken the 20 minute mark so I hoped to go out at a 6:20 pace.  It was great fun to have my own personal pacer and a really good one at that.

Garmin data:

Mile 1- 6:17, 170 bpm

Mile 2- 6:27, 178 bpm

Mile 3- 6:31, 179 bpm

final 0.1- 6:32, 178 bpm

19:55, 3.11 miles, 175 bpm (200 bpm max)

Official time 19:54, a PR and my first sub 20 5k!

The course was on and around the Jordan River Parkway.  Flat as a pancake. Wind ~10 mph. 53 degrees.
