San Angelo 5k rankings

As I mentioned in my last post (Trek 4 Trykes) I've been working on some San Angelo runner rankings over the last few weeks.  I guess I have to do something while not in class.  I'm going to start with the 5k runners today.  These are the folks I'm recruiting if I ever go back down to San Antonio for the Carrabba's 20K relay or American Hero 25K relay.
Some notes on how I got these rankings together -
 The premise behind the rankings is answering the following question; if all of Tom Green County lined up for a race tomorrow, what would the finishing order be?
I dug through as many San Angelo area race results as I could from 2015 - today.
I'm taking into consideration runners' best times, head to head and recency/consistency along with just knowing from who I run with.
5K is a particularly hard race to rank.  There are many people in town that I know would be on the list,  but I don't have any times for them.  Katherine Ward, Shannon Corona, and Jacob Klockenga all fall in that category.  Guys like Brian Tillman and Kent Fish would probably be on this list if they ran 5ks, but they seem to prefer the longer distances.  Also, I know that there are plenty of high school and college runners that should be considered but they don't seem to race at the local level.  I also had to take into consideration military runners that are only here for a few months.  Jacob Bull would be my #1 5k runner after running some sub 20 5.5k races in the trail series earlier this year.  However, he's since moved on to his next base.  Finally, I had to take into account races that might be shorter or longer than 5k (such as the trail series) AND factor in road vs. trail performance.  What I'm trying to say is that these aren't perfect.  But, I'm just doing this for fun, right?

Before breaking runners into their age group, I'll put up the top #25 5K runners.  I'll finish with the listing of the top 50 PRs for the last 3 years.  I hope you enjoy this.  In the future look for more middle distance (8K-15K) and long distance rankings (20K+) as well as a probable overall list I'll come out with.  I've got no idea on a timeline as of yet.

Ufff.. that got tough.  Especially trying to factor in that last year Pink Ribbon Run was a bit short and that's the best time for some of those folks.  All right, on to the age group rankings.

Fanciness, gardens, and you're a guey

 Day 4 was "supposed" to take place mainly outside. The forecast called for rain most of the day and, well, it looked like we would be running ourselves ragged to make the self-imposed time hacks. So, we made a little adjustment. We still decided to go to a couple different gardens. However, we needed breakfast first (let's be honest, it was second breakfast for this hobbit). We went to Confiteria La Ideal for a fantastic breakfast. I had thought it was a smaller place to grab a coffee and snack and then be on our way. However, we walked in and realized it's not that type of spot. The cafe originally opened in 1912 and was long considered the best example of porteno (coming from Buenos Aires) gastronomy for the best part of the 20th century. They closed their doors in 2016 but reopened in 2022 after a massive restoration project.  We also saw that we were way underdressed. Luckily, we could play the ignorant tourist card and, if need be, I could always speak horrendou...

Swag bag

 It's been a busy few weeks since I wrote my last post  about the state parks we've been visiting.  Well, we did it again.  I wanted to roll up our trip to Jordan Lake with an update on the Csapo Family 5k and a shortened write up from our in-person 5k.  So, let's get to it. We hit up state park #5, Jordan Lake, a few weeks ago.  Just a bit outside of Raleigh, the man-made Jordan Lake is the 7th largest lake in the state.  Upon its several inlets, the state park includes several campgrounds, boat launches, and recreation areas.  We wanted a 2-3 mile trail so we went with the red trail at Vista Point.  Many of the other trails were either different distances or accessible only to campers.  The red trail has an inauspicious beginning as it's located kind of near a rentable pavilion.  It took us a minute to find it as there wasn't much of a trailhead sign.  Furthermore, it is a path through the woods, not quite the obviously delin...

Road Lizards Out On The Trails

Our running club here in San Angelo is the San Angelo Road Lizards.  However, we seem to find ourselves more on the trails than the roads.  One of the most popular race(s) on the San Angelo calendar is the Crazy Desert Trail Race put on by Trail Racing Over Texas (TROT). photo credit: Trail Racing Over Texas It includes the longest races in the area and attracts runners from all over the state.  I did the 5k two years ago , coming in 2nd overall, and the 1/2 marathon (that measured around 15 miles) last year.  The courses all start and finish on the north side of the San Angelo state park and the longer races get into longhorn territory.  Whereas longhorns are fairly docile, it's a good thing we didn't mingle with the bison in the park. I originally signed up for the 1/2 again this year after I decided I'd just take it easy and simply run for the enjoyment for the time being.  However, my friends Dennis, Jon, and Cody are bad influences and, over t...
