Run
Comments: I ran like crap but I was glad to get back to running in races rather than just by myself. Shins started hurting really badly at about 2 1/2 miles and I walked quite a bit but was able to keep walking time short. By summer I will be back to 25 min or so... What would you do differently?: Run more beforehand...I need to train more consistently... Post race
Event comments: Timing was a mess...there was the false start and apparently when the first runner came in to the finish the clock read 9 min then jumped to 18 min...my time at the finish was 39min which I knew was wrong and ended up dropping to 32:56 when the final times were posted. Lack of volunteers really hurt the half marathon...a fellow who was in the lead missed the final turn to the school. He kept running straight and ended up losing like 2 min. There was only a sign and no volunteers directing the way. The post race was awesome as there was TONS of every type of food imaginable...all for free for anyone!!!! Yoo bad I had to go to school and could not stay the whole time... Last updated: 2006-03-06 12:00 AM

Up at 5:45 and had a Clif Bar with some water...
Drive over was good, got pumped with some P Diddy and some Big and Rich.
We had to park like a half mile away in a residential neighborhood but the walk over got me loose and moving...
Realized when I got to the event that I had left my GPS/timer back in the car...didn't want to run and get it...
I did my normal stretch routine but it was hard to get really warm because the temp. was hovering around 30 degrees.
There was also a 5-10 walk uphill to the start. This was changed from the course maps the night before the race and few people were aware of it.
I decided to keep my long sleeves on for the run and I was sure glad that I did.
The race was scheduled for a 7:30a start but due to some severe disorganization with the start location we did not get off until after 7:40a
