 Run
Comments: I'm not going to retype my blog :). Started slow since it was my longest run ever. My head was into the distance. Steady through mile 3 and into 4. Liked reaching the mat. People talk less in long races ... . In that area 5k's are funner. Had to throw in some walking in the last three miles. Would say 'not happy' but, hey!, looooogggeessst distance! Lighten um! What would you do differently?: Nothing. Nope, not right. I had a BLAST doing this race! BUT! I need to loose the 'I'm just here for the party' mentality. I'm a new athlete (dispite my advanced age). I'm supposed to be 'in training' for tri's and right now I'm screwing around trying to boost my ego by clocking in on things like this. If I want to run, I should go run. But. Tomorrow, it's back to being a triathlete in training.  Post race
Warm down: Strong mentally at the end. But I got squirrly looking for sustancence. Like I said in my blog. I would probably die in the wild. Couldn't find the water/banana/bread for a bit. Walked, stretched. Had my picture taken with the Gasparilli Pirates. What limited your ability to perform faster: Still questioning my abilities. Was worried not stretching about my calf. That will soon be out of my mind and then I'll need a better excuse!!!! :) Tried to push myself to acknowledge me as an endurance athlete in the later miles. Event comments: AWESOME MUSIC! AWESOME VOLUNTEERS! Tried to thank all a the water stops and clap for the entertianment. I put the blow-to-blow in my blog. GREAT to meet the other BTers! I actually have a pic in Tri Take Me Away's Album - I'm the Player-to-be-Named-Later in the grey tri-suit and white UA hat before things got 'hairy.' Although ... I am so old compared to them! What the hell! Afterall, it's ALL ABOUT ME!!!! SOOO looking forward to 2007!!!! Last updated: 2006-02-22 12:00 AM

Played with darlin'-Lexi, read, obsessed, set my cellphone alarm clock. Slept/didn't sleep. Choc Whey protein with apple, banana and peanuts at 5:30 am. Orange Cytomax at 7 am.
Sue was a star getting Hollis and I to the race start but the streets were closed off so we drove around a bit before we got to the parking garage. Very little time for stretching which made me nervous. Only in line for the Little Girls Big Blue Yucky Box. But we hollered with Renee a bit which got the blood running.
