Comments:

The race was great. I was not expecting to do so well. Gender place was 2085 out of 3146. I guess there was a lot of people, 10,323 to be exactly. I think we moved up to 5th largest road race in the country. I just had a great race because my 5K split time was 32:39 which is around what my 5K time is normally. But today I maintained a pretty good pace for another 5K. That was wonderful. Getting my finisher's medal was wonderful!
What would you do differently?:

I thought I was undertrained so I would train some more but obviously I am better off than I thought. I don't know what else I would have done. It was just great!
Post race
Warm down:

I walked out my legs and got rid of the time chip. I got a bottle of water and found my dad and then got a popsicle which was great!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

My lack of training. I can imagine if I dropped some more weight and trained more that maybe I could fly!!

Event comments:

I had a great race. Congrats to everyone! This was Bellin's 30th year and a great way to really enter the racing world. The crowd and the volunteers made my first 10K really special and one that I will certain remember for the rest of my life. I am a little sore through the hip area and hopefully that is just from the stress of the run. I am volunteering tomorrow at the Green Bay Triathlon so this will be a great race weekend!
