We're members of the zoo and they had their "first annual" 5k today so we signed up a few weeks ago. It was the most hilly, unorganized beast I've ever been involved with but actually really fun considering the scenery. It was also the FIRST time we've ever run the same race together.
DH was leading the pack through the first mile and a half but ended up dropping back. Long story short, he was gassed while I kept steady. I passed him early and with about 100 yards to go (past the tigers and sea lions!) he SPRINTED past me up the last hill.
I decided OH HELL NO. Ran faster than I ever have and beat him by seven seconds. Bragging rights for a week!
Anyway, it was a fun run. And really cool to actually be involved in the same race... but yeah, the excuses were flowing like water after he crossed the finish line
Congrats! I would totally rub that in his face as long as you can. But then again, my DH and I are very competitive people, especially now that I'm running.

Same here The smack talk in our house started two weeks before the race!
