Run
Comments: Really thought that other BTers would emerge from the pack but was not to be- C2fd & I ran at an easy conversational pace- enjoying the crowd- the snow- the bands - miles just went by...suddenly it was last mile & time to think that hey this is a race! What would you do differently?: Better system to meet up with BTers-Missed Maxine's debut! LOL Otherwise- nothing- this was a day for fun...and "thanks" for being healthy & being able to go out and play... Post race
Warm down: Wait around & stretch at the garage finish looking for the BT gang- got chilled so went to parking lot to get dry clothes & Voila! Max & crew coming down the hill - May smiling as always! A Mimosa toast to BT !Thanks Ron! What limited your ability to perform faster: Not running for speed- just for fun! Event comments: A thanksgiving "feast" of fun- lucky to be out there- good time-good people!And home to turkey & pie...can't beat that! Last updated: 2005-11-20 12:00 AM

gave myself 40 minutes to get up & out & have breakfast -throw "layers" & BT cooler into the car, woke up to a light dusting of SNOW on the car! quiet & pretty outside-drove a little over an hour to the race site- had to go around blocked off streets to find parking lot that On The Run had picked out.Had usual coffee/sweet/yogurt..then sipped on vit H20 & listened to tunes on the ride...
walking! to & from lot- to registration - to meeting place- to port a pot- to start - all the while scanning for BTers-people harder to pick out with all those clothes on in a crowd of thousands in the snow! Found C2fd outside registration....no real "warm up" but crowded start so first mile was really a warm up.
