 Run
Comments: This was an untimed, unscored event. They had a timer at the end, but if you were near the back (which we were), your time was at least 4 -5 minutes off. There were about 3000 people in this "race" and I was all the way at the back (thanks to that traffic). Once we DID get thru the starting gate, it was all bottlenecked til you got on a wider path. What would you do differently?: Nothing, this was not an official race, so I didn't really prepare. I felt good after it though, I waited for Terri and Kim to come in before I even went for a drink, and I was fine.  Post race
Warm down: Went and relaxed for about 20 minutes before heading off to Downtown Orlando for our 15 mile run, that we only got 6 miles out of. What limited your ability to perform faster: The thousands of people and kids who had no idea that people actually wanted to RUN this race. Event comments: Fun time, but needs to be a little more organized so that they aren't cramming 3000 people into a 5-foot wide sidewalk. Last updated: 2006-01-08 12:00 AM

Waited in traffic until 3 minutes before race was supposed to start. Wound up starting 20 minutes late because the rest of the world was in traffic too.
None, no time (or so we thought). Once we got to the start area, we just stretched a bit...
