![]() Run
Comments: Went great. We were right at 0:24 @ the 2 mi. mark; about what I expected. Started at the back because we started with walking. When running, passed a lot of people, who then passed us when walking. Overall, clearly moved up in the pack. Wore tights, LS wicking top, fleece top, rain jacket, another wicking top (SS w/team name), gloves, lightweight cap, midweight SmartWool socks. Felt pretty comfortable; maybe a little damp but not too warm. What would you do differently?: Nothing. ![]() Post race
Warm down: Walked around post-race area looking for other team members, did some stretching. Could definitely feel hammies and achilles tightening up in the cold after the race. Ended up walking around more than I would have liked because we were looking for the rest of the group for the post-race pic. Finally gave up. What limited your ability to perform faster: Dodging around other runners, current pace is probably generally a little slow. Event comments: Lots of cold drinks provided, nothing hot. Not surprising given the unpredictability of the weather. Didn't want anything sweet to eat afterwards so just had 1/2 asiago bagel. Team provided breakfast burritos, got L soy chai on the way home. Good race, although weather was chilly and sometimes rainy. Some wind, but not significant factor. Felt really good to get a 5k under my belt and it was surprisingly easy. Yay!!

Cup of coffee with meds, glass of Bolthouse Mango Protein drink.
Walked to registration tent to change race from 1.5 mi to 5k (down 4 flights in parking garage, ~1/2 mi to & from); got cold so went back to car to get fleece jacket & wait in the car until closer to start (up 4 flights). Back to meet-up area (down 4 flights), hung out with other team members trying to stay warmish and dry.
