Comments:

Bolted right out the gate. You come round the corner and there is a long sweeping uphill. Kept my HR between 150-160. I was really close to getting a stitch in my right side so backed off just a little. Pushed hard on this 5k
What would you do differently?:

Hmm, maybe wear a sweatband. I did not need any sunglasses but the sweat bothered me.
Post race
Warm down:

Listerened to the marching band! Also i ate half a piece of Apple pie and drank a choc milk. I am really trying to be careful about how much i eat after a race.
O nearly forgot they got my some Apple Ale!! I drank half of it as i really have to watch the calories

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Just my weight but there is always that.

Event comments:

This is my 3rd time doing this event. It really is great!!!! I love the parachutes and Marching band. If i am in town i will be back! It is a great way to start the holiday!!
