Comments:

It was a nice run. We tried going with a group, but my cadence is too slow and then it only frustrates!! so we left the group and went on our own. The group was actually going too slow, but it was good to get some rest in and keep going.


What would you do differently?:

Go to the toilette before the time!!!!!
Post race
Warm down:

We walked around the relaxation area for some time. It was good, but the chaffing in my buttocks did not cease.

Did some stretches. And ate a meaty sandwich.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Toilette break and chaffing.

Event comments:

Very good goody bag with lots of samples.
