Run
Comments: I started out a little bit too fast, which got me winded, so I slowed down and let some people pass after a while. It took me a bit to recover from that, but I am just too competitive and not good at going slow when people are near me! I had to walk up a few hills that I didn't have to last November. I don't know why, besides I was just tired! Maybe it's still the holiday weight. I just figured I would take it a bit easier and not suffer, as it wasn't a race, just a timed run. The best part, besides knowing a bunch of my pals were out running, as well, was that I was given NUMBER 1! Everyone always cheered GO, NUMBER ONE when I ran by. That was fun. The trail was really slick in a few places so I was really careful there, as I couldn't see injuring myself for the rest of the season! What would you do differently?: Eat a better breakfast...I just had a banana, coffee and a gel right before the race. The gel had caffeine in it, and I think that was too much, which probably attributed to getting sort of winded early on. Perhaps stretch a little more. And I need new music on my ipod!! Post race
Warm down: Lynne, Jennie and Liz all arrived at the finish not long after I did, since they all got a bit turned around and didn't do the whole course. We hung out for a bit, then got lattes and went out to breakfast. Yay! What limited your ability to perform faster: Being tired, slick running surface, fat ass. Event comments: I love doing the NW Trail Runs. Totally fun!!! Last updated: 2008-02-25 12:00 AM

Got up, had coffee and banana, drove to race, found Lynne, Liz and Jennie.
Not much! Just a little stretching. Made sure I had plenty of bodyglide on feet.
