 Run
Comments: Felt tight but OK, very bright and wished I had a visor, kept gloves on and light hat until mile 2; lost my gloves tucking them away but didn't want to give up any time and go back; kept pushing on the hill-which is 2 tiers, then pushed harder after mile2 over the last hill--took ~60 breaths and then the downhill started and I flew; tried to hold pace and then push pace then hold on What would you do differently?: nothing  Post race
Warm down: just sat in the car and tried to get my breath; used my MDI again What limited your ability to perform faster: Zip Event comments: There is no where else to be on Thanksgiving than in Manchester running the road race. It's been a staple in our house for decades. Both kids ran (bandited) and we all talked about our experiences later at home. Love the costumes. A bit chilly but in reality 40-50 degrees is perfect. A new record was set today-nice! Profile Album Last updated: 2022-11-24 12:00 AM

Veteran 945 South Windsor, CT | Subject: RE: Manchester Road Race yeah, this race is perennially a big deal and very well attended-often close to the max of 15,000 people and that doesn't count the thousands of bandits/non-registered runners who jump on the course for a bit just for the experience of it its' one of the largest in NE-behind Boston and NY marathons and is the largest road race in CT the only other race that is close is New Haven Road Race (20K and 5K) @ ~5-7K (Falmouth RR (7mile) in Mass has about 13K ppl) |
