Did some light stretching afterward, didn't experience any cramping after the race. On Monday I was a little sore in my hips area, but that was it.

Nothing.

Event comments:

I keep telling myself I won't do this event again only because the weather for the Cool Breeze is usually horrible. I told club members to skip this event because of weather and this year had perfect weather. This was a very enjoyable event for me and had a great time with it.
