Comments: Wind blowing at 20-25 mph. Ouch! It sucked. The left anterior tib did not want to run at all. Mile 1 went well Ken and I stayed close. 8:04 mile maybe a little to fast. Mile 2 the left shin started to talk to me bad. I lost my santa hat and to turn to get it. Just after the water station I stopped to stretch left calf. Bad idea was worse after. Couldn't anywa to relieve it with foot placement. 8:54 mile 2. Becam more of a shuffle after that. Stopped to retie left shoe. Then the right shoe cam untied. If there had been a coffe shop I would have got coffee. Picked it up some at the end and got a good cheer from Ken and M-daddy on the way in. Thanks guys. What would you do differently?: Warmup more and loose wgt. The gain on 10 pounds from summer is killing me. I need to get on the stick and hopefully this is the wakeup call. ![]() Post race
Warm down: Stretch and stretch again. Got some coffee and soup. Kam31 won her age group. Mike and Ken did well. What limited your ability to perform faster: A big fat gut. Poor warm up. Event comments: I am disappointed in this race. I had hoped to finish well and started out OK. Standing in line too long to get packet was a pain and they need to fix that area. Ugh!!!!!!

Slept like crap. Up at 6:30 toast and a little water (not enough). KenJ pick me up at 7:30 and drove 40 minutes to race. Had to stand in lines for packet p/u and then again to get shirt. Too long standing around and not warming up.
Stretched and ran in place a little. Turns out work to hard on right leg.
