Run
Comments: Goal was to run 10 minute miles which would be a bit faster than my training runs but definately doable. I acually remembered to start my watch at the start but missed the 1 mile split. Settled into a normal pace. Got my split at mile 2 and saw it was slow so I picked it up from there on. I got a little bit of a cramp at mile 3 so let up briefly but I was able to control it & kept my pace up to the finish. Pretty cool to see such a sea of people clogging up the street ahead and behind you although I think I ran an extra mile just zig zagging around people. I figured the crowd would thin out after a couple of miles but it didn't too much. What would you do differently?: Not much really. Get that one mile split. Post race
Warm down: Wandered around - got some water & blueberry muffins & yoghurt. Ran into Aaron & Lianna & chatted with them for a while. What limited your ability to perform faster: People in the way, but it wasn't too bad. Event comments: Good time for my first running race. Times based on gun time, not chip time which seems kind of dumb. I listed my chip time. Last updated: 2005-11-24 12:00 AM

Had a yoghurt, OJ & banana for breakfast, went down to the race, picked up my packet and milled around for a little while.
Normal walk - short jog - stretching like I do before any training run.
