View Member's Race Log
Weston, Florida
United States
70F / 21C
Overcast
Total Time = 22m 15s
Overall Rank = 10/173
Age Group = masters
Age Group Rank = 3/
Pre-race routine:

Got gatorade/accelerade/amino vital drink mix and made a mug of coffee. Signed up for 5K on race day since I wasn't sure how my foot would behave. Was thinking of doing the 1/2 mary but my foot was bothering me again the past two days so I thought better of it.

Wasn't really in a racing frame of mind today. Haven't gotten much sleep the past few nights since I was up late working at my church's Living Nativity with the kids. Didn't even shave for the race! I felt like a gorilla (I know...TMI!)
Event warmup:

Light jogging, stretching, barely any sprints...like I said, I wasn't in a racing frame of mind.
Run
  • 22m 15s
  • 3.11 miles
  • 07m 09s  min/mile
Comments:

Kept up with the woman who beat me last week for the most part. I've never beaten her, but this is the closest I've come. I faded in the last 1/2 mile and she beat me by only 7 seconds!
What would you do differently?:

Train. Between end-of-tri-season lack of motivation, foot injuries and 4 pounds weight gain (due to excuse #1), I'm not EXACTLY at my peak!
Post race
Warm down:

Light jogging, stretching, had some OJ and pancake breakfast at the expo area.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of training.

Event comments:

I've done this race (the 1/2 mary of it) a few times in the past and it's a great course. Nice suburban area, traffic blocked off, etc. I couldn't have gone any faster if I tried. I'm out of shape, but for a 5K my speed is still there. The difference is that I'll be paying for it tomorrow!

One more night of the Living Nativity and then maybe I'll catch up on my sleep!


*Just finally got results on the internet today...overall women I was 10/173, overall male and female I was 47/376. YAYY!

Not bad for someone who was tired and not training much lately! Thanks for cheering me on.

I tell you...both you and your husband are awesome.  I can't belive how fast you can run.  You think you can give me a few pointers at St. A's when you pass me?    A swift kick in the rear would work too.

How do you think I got faster? Lots of kicks in the rear. That's how Sharon hurt her foot!
