Zooma Annapolis (Women's Race Series) - Run10k

warmup can'x by rain (was going to park at friend's house and run to race start). legs warmed up well after my charge through the giant puddle at the starting line. finally understood the "hometown advantage" mental boost. very hilly course for the area but i used that to pick up my pace. i run faster up hills than on flats. great kick for last 0.2 miles. overall happy with fun run. i said thank you to every state trooper and police officer helping out. it was my only goal :)

not pay for a 6.2 mile race in my hometown. cupcakes were good, but i could run from my house to main street and buy a bigger cupcake for less money.

walk back to NMC stadium for post-race cupcake and to say hi to Fleet Feet booth.


my lack of speed work and consistent training for the last two months.


course missed out on some of the best parts of annapolis. adding the usna bridge gave a good view, but continuous uphills for 4 miles seemed to be a little rough on most of the crowd.
