I just ran a 13:48 5k

**bballa48** · 04-6-2012, 08:44 PM

Guys, I need to vent my excitement somewhere. Best race of my life... Breakthrough performance doesn't even begin to describe it. I am so so happy and thankful for ... Well everything.

As of right now it is the number one time in the NCAA ( though it won't be for long probably, but it should still be top 15 or so headed into the postseason).

Anyway... Just thought I'd share it with my fellow arrow smashers

love you guys

**alloyus** · 04-6-2012, 08:52 PM

It's cool and all that you're excited, but can we get more details ?_?

**igotrhythm** · 04-6-2012, 08:52 PM

Had to vent over not winning that wedding contest, huh Sean?

Anyway, nice job. Is that a school record or something?

Last time I bothered to be timed for any sort of distance race, I had something like 8:50 for the mile in eighth grade, and even then I rubber-legged going into the last 1/8 and hearing "eight minutes." I cannot picture myself running a 5K without collapsing at some point, even though my dad's family had a number of athletes.

Woah, considering what my running team used to pull off... This is very impressive.... Miles ahead of what I used to See!

Good job man! Bet it was a hell of a performance, it must have felt so good...

I'm proud of myself if I can finish 3 miles in under 20mins pre-workout lmfao

Haha well... It was just a standard track meet at William and Mary. The race itself isn't important other than getting a time for regionals (14:10 or better gets you in). I won the race (I guess I didn't say that) mile splits were 4:29, 4:28, 4:18 ish plus .1 miles. Not sure what other details I can give

Conference meet in two weeks, regionals a month later, then top 12 at regionals go to nationals!

Also, it was second all time at UVA. School record is 1337

**25thhour** · 04-6-2012, 09:52 PM

...
But thats fukking insane! Congrats dude.

**alloyus** · 04-6-2012, 09:54 PM

What what what ._. Ok I see the ridiculousness now thanks xD You're insaneee

**25thhour** · 04-6-2012, 09:56 PM

12:37.35 = World Record

Try to get 13:37 or faster. That'd be pre boss :P

**awein999** · 04-6-2012, 10:00 PM

ballinnnnn. go for exactly 13:37 xD

**Guest15937** · 04-6-2012, 10:33 PM

I don't think I could even run half of a 5k in that time...
Great job. Go for the sub 13:37

dAnceguy117 · 04-7-2012, 12:53 AM

that time is just a sick joke, dude. and I thought I was hot stuff in high school with my 17:30. 13:48... I can't even... what. negative splits too? ridiculous.

congratulations in the very highest order, sir

**DossarLX ODI** · 04-7-2012, 01:13 AM

"I run... a lot. Like 70+ miles a week. Sort of rare for people that play this game."

Man, that is absolutely ludicrous, not surprised you could pull off something like this. I can't imagine what it would take to get sub-4 minutes each mile

**iironiic** · 04-7-2012, 01:45 AM

I saw the Facebook picture of that scoreboard! You're absolutely insane haha! Congrats!

When I was little, I used to be so fat that I tried running the mile in 13:13 hahaha! Sadly, I'm being serious haha! My best mile time (since 8th grade) is 6:26, but I think I can improve that, given enough exercise haha.

welsh_girl · 04-7-2012, 03:15 AM

Nice one bro. That would seriously take me hours to complete lol
