Comments: It felt good to not be under the pressure to do the 4 mile jaunt and wear that time chip but I missed it a bit. I was nice to walk with the family and just take our time and enjoy the environment. The hills were insane! But we did well and survived and actually made it back to almost the park before the Marines in full boots and unis got back from the four miler...pretty awesome! What would you do differently?: Wear my garmin... that course was way longer than 2 miles but we don't know for sure!!!!!!  Post race
Warm down: Did some stretching and got some food pretty quickly afterwards....drank a whole bottle of water. Didn't need much of a cool down. What limited your ability to perform faster: Nothing because I am actually doing a lot of walking in training for the MS Challenge walk! I wish however I was doing some running...it would have been nice to do the 4 mile but it was nice not to have that pressure! Event comments: Again this was an awesome race for a great cause. We had 8 parachuters bring in the American flag and I guess the medals were specially designed. It was nice to honor Ryan today. On a funny note...they used red towels at the end to hand to people to cool off and people were putting them around their necks. Well they hadn't soaked them before and you could tell who had put one around their neck because not only was their necks red but also their tee shirts...made everyone literally look like a bunch of rednecks :) hahaha But it was a great race!

I got up at 7:30 and did absolutely everything I haven't done in the past almost two years because I was walking this race and just wanted to be like the other people and not like a triathlete/runner. I put on my running shorts and shoes cuz I do need to take care of my feet but I put on my race tee shirt which was cotton and pinned my number to it, put on my normal watch instead of my garmin...which was a mistake and didn't eat breakfast and headed over to the race which was actually only about a mile away. But the really important thing was that we were going as a family to support a great cause.
Does walking around the dog count...because it really was only a two mile walk so like how much warm up could you really need? :)
