Comments:

I went out really fast, but was still able to finish strong. I know that I couldn't have held that pace for very long, but it was fun to hear the time called out. I had to remind myself that I had a race the next day and to not overdue it.
What would you do differently?:

Not schedule a race for the next day and go all out not having to worry about it.
Post race
Warm down:

Ran to my car to get my camera. Kept moving and cheered on my teamates through the finish. I stretched out afterward and put biofreeze on for a quick refresh. Made sure to eat a protien bar afterward for quick muscle repair.

Event comments:

This is the first race that I ever tried a few years ago and I've been hooked on it ever since. All women participants and it's just a good healthy enviroment for all these ladies. Great course and lot's of fun at the awards ceremony. The planning committee really knows what they are doing.

Performance: Good
My first mile was 6:57!!!! I looked down and my heart rate was 178! I was trying too hard to stay up with the 7 minute milers. I got my heart rate in check. The mile two was 14:37, which made my second mile 7:37, much slower and more comfortable. Last mile was a smooth approx 7:50.
Course: Beautiful course through neighborhood and golf course. Very rainy and overcast, but kept things cool. Lots of fun on this course!
