 Run
Comments: Was not out to really race-I just wanted to be able to complete my first 8K!! This was not a great weather day due to the major winds but I had a REALLY GREAT run. Thanks to Sue for saying she would run with me because I wouldn't have even attempted to do it by myself!! When we got to the first mile I saw the clock say 12 something and was really upset that we were that slow. I forgot to take into consideration the difference in the clock and my start time. When Sue reminded me to look at our time I was happy that I was right on pace. Shins really started to get tight around the 2nd mile, but then loosened up pretty quick. Thanks goodness that we had a tailwind running down Pacific. Once we turned onto the boardwalk the winds were really bad at times. The last mile I felt great. The best for me was finally getting to meet my BT mentor and she helped me beat my goal of 55 min. Offical results:2037 17559 Susan O'Neal F 41 Williamsburg VA 54:38.80 11:08 56:30.10 114/267 F40-44 953/2133 F What would you do differently?: Maybe push a bit harder for the next race. I really was surprised how good I felt on this run.  Post race
Warm down: No real cool-down. Made our way to the free beer and stew!!! What limited your ability to perform faster: Nothing really limited me. I was just out to have a good time and finish my first 8K. Event comments: Want to thank Sue for pushing me to register and do this race, esp since she is leaving for vacation tomorrow for three weeks. Also want to thank KLynne for coming with me in the bitter windy cold to cheer me on!! Your a great friend and sherpa!!!! Last updated: 2007-01-25 12:00 AM

Woke up at 5:15,quick change thenout the door. Was a bit to quick out the door and hit my husbands truck. Dented the back bumper of the Sequoia but didn't hurt the older truck. Thanks Goodness hubby wasn't to mad at me!! Drove and picked up my best friend Klynne then off to VA Beach.
Met up with my BT mentor PTinVA, Sue and her husband at King Neptune. Man was it a chilly, windy morning. No real warmup to speak of, except for trying to stay warm.
