Woohoo! I had an amazing run! What a feeling! Never felt tired, just felt like I was FLYING! What a rush..I was discussing this with my friend and she asked if I had recently lost weight. I have lost 5 pounds in the last few weeks, maybe that has something to do with it. Also I was well rested - had an easy week.I have NEVER run anywhere NEAR this fast before -I think my best pace over 3 miles before today was 8:22!! Holy cow!

What would you do differently?:

Nothing -I was grinning the whole time and just loved it.
Post race
Warm down:

Ran a 2 mile cool down with my friend Beth -the girl I met at St. Anthony's that loaned me her goggles. We had a great chat. I hadn't seen her in a few months.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

3 hours sleep?

Event comments:

I love this course! It is a small race, but the competition is very tough. I got 7th girl overall but still only 4th in my AG.
After the race, Sue dropped me off at the trailhead and I rode my bike 38 miles back to my car. Had a tailwind the whole way and managed an 18.5 average.
