First off, how rock star are these shoes? They’re from KSWISS as part of their IronMan K-ONA line. I’ve don’t have any and have never run in a pair of KSWISS shoes, just thought they would be cool for a 4th of July 5k.
OH YA! I signed up for my VERY FIRST 5k race. Well, I’ve walked one before, but have never RUN one. It’s a local 4th of July 5k and I’m curious as to how I will do. So I open it up to you, the reader.
Predict my 5k finish time — win a prize!
- Price Is Right Rules: closest without going over.
- If there are duplicates, whoever guessed the time first, wins —so look at previous comments.
- Times must be minutes and seconds. No partial or 100ths of a seconds will be counted.
- You have until the start of the race to guess. Winner will be announced 7/5
I don’t know what you’ll win… how about a $5 giftcard to Starbucks? That’s $1 for every K.
Here are some times to help you guess:
Fastetst 1 Mile: 6:28 — last weekend
Fastest 10k: 50:45 (8:10 pace) — 2009
Fastest Half: 1:50:38 (8:20 pace) — 2012

You got this – and now I want those shoes…Thanks… :)
I say 22:36
Well, before running 5K myself last week (for the first time!), I wouldn’t have known what to guess.
Just because you seem pretty fast, I’m going with 24:10.
Some day, I might be down around there too!
23:45
22:09
21:50

I’m going with 23:10!
Good luck!
21:50
22:03 … cause you’re just that good!
I will say 22:36!!! Good luck!!
22.12!
23:00 even. :-) Good luck in your first 5k, I think you’ll do awesome!
22:50. Good luck and have fun!
22:30. You’ve got this!
Oooh, this is fun! I’m guessing there’s some heat involved on July 4th, so I’m going to round up to 22:44.
24:15 Have fun!
5k prediction: 20:08
22:59 (very tempted to say 00:01..just in case)
Classic Price Is Right Strategy…
lol I would hate to go on that show and be beat like that
21:48
I’m going with 22:27. Is this really your first 5K?!
My guess is 22:32! Good luck with your first 5K:)
22:18… get it, girl!
or boy… LOL :)
Bahahahahaaaaa….so sorry :S I bet you really hope I don’t win so you don’t have to copy and paste it, huh?? Ahhhhh!
hahaha… true. It’s funny, I get the “girl” notion a lot… maybe I should post more photos of myself.
Oooh, 23:40?
Whatever – have a great run!
23-flat. Good luck and have fun!
I’d guess24:01! Happy first 5k, you’ll totally rock it!
Best of luck, you’ll do great! I’m guessing that you’ll snag a 23:35. And those are some pretty pimp shoes!
Many so many people took my ideas already. That’s what I get for being a guessing slacker. See 1 mile doesn’t always mean what can go for miles on end. And w/ it being a holiday race it should be kinda crowded and hot. Soo I’m gonna go with 24:45. Was thinking 25:45 but I wanna give you more credit than tha. Haha. Have fun!
hmmmm…I want you to go all out so I’m saying 20:12 (to match the year). Good luck and have fun!
I am going to guess 23:48!! GOOD LUCK!! :)
22:22 I like that number :) Good luck and have fun!
23:10.
22.41
21:50 – GO YOU!
But will it be blistering hot?
I’ll go 22:40
Have a great race!!!!!
I’m guessing 22:03
I am going to say 24:04
Im gonna go with 22:54:-) Good Luck!
LOVE those shoes! I’m predicting 25:35.
WHAT IS THE COURSE PROFILE?!?! ;)
23:15 — Good luck!
Sorry… it’s flat as a pancake, I’m pretty sure. It’s a small race, so it isn’t posted.
23:05… The first time that popped in my head!
hmmm……… 23:07!! I’ll be cheering you on in spirit! :)
22:47 Go PR, GO!!!!!!!!!
24:02 BOOM!
So many folks going with 22, which is where I’d guess. Gonna go with 22:17, since that was my first 5K time. Make me an overbidder!
FU says 20:52!
PAVE the way :)
17:58 Good luck!
Great shoes! 21:01
