I ran the Broncos 7k last year in 30:11 and won a cool Broncos helmet for 1 st place age group. This year, I wanted to get faster. I was going to try to get less than 30 minutes. I registered the kids for the kid's race and they were very excited to come in their Broncos jerseys and meet players and Broncos players. Lloyd and the kids watched me start and it was so fun to see the kids get excited. I saw one girl that looked like she could beat me. She was younger and had more muscle.
