AM: jog over to meet carpool to Indy - 4 miles - about 35 min.  WU with some jogging and strides - we got there way early, so alot of WU - about 2 miles.  Race: 5k where the Quaff guys and I were expecting a lot of faster dudes since it has been in the past.  There wren't too many sub 17 guys and faster, turned out.  Danny and Tim went out in 1/2 positions and held those positions for the race duration.  I was about 5 seconds back from Danny most of the race.  I wound up in 3rd at the end only through a real hard kick at the end to stay ahead of Jason? (Was that you, Jason?)   I was so gassed afterward that I did not have the mental faculties to carry on any sort of converastion... :) sry.
