Comments:

Well, it was tuff. I started as usual but slowed the second mile. The third miles a ruff but I sprinted the last quarter mile to try and make up lost time.
What would you do differently?:

Speed train more often. Not ware so many cloths even when it is that cold.
Post race
Warm down:

HA HA, I had to rush home, get out of my wet cloths and bundle up to get warm.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

lack of hill and speed training, weather, and to many cloths.

Event comments:

They gave out last years trophies for the winners. I had to take the plate off mine and get a new one with the proper info on it for it said Lake Norman Oct. 2007. I guess knowing that you know why my trophy for the RFYL free 5k has a sail boat on top of it. HA HA I do like the sail boat. :)
