JP McBride's Frozen Shamrock - Run3 Mile

well, didn't hear a gun or an announcement... just noticed the pack was off and running. hit my watch where I thought the start line was... my chip time will probably be longer but I'm going by my watch time here. I did an excellent job pacing... ran the whole way, first mile 11:54, miles two and three were both 11:30 on the nose. stayed well within myself on the big hill, then started pushing a little on the last bit of the hill, zipped down the hill, and managed to hold on the rest of the race. not a good day for my lungs with the cold, but overall I managed to seriously break my stretch goal (base goal: sub 40. stretch goal: 36 min)

um, get a new serevent script for my asthma.

walked back and forth in the non-clogged portion of the tiny finisher's chute. managed to finally get my chip cut off, found out that they were out of finisher's medals (they promised to mail), pushed around the random standers, left the chute, found out that there was no water anywhere (although there was beer), decided with the husband to just head out.


I've been running seriously for three weeks. Not complaining at all here.


they need to solve the finish line issue, and get water out there for the non-speedy runners. I'm used to a lack of good food, but honestly, I expect water, even if it's cold out.
