Run
Comments: I had very mixed feelings about doing this race today. My heart was with my family back in Tennessee due to the unexpected death of my brother-in-law on Thursday. I ended up deciding to go on and do the race since I wasn't able to make it back for the funeral yesterday. I thought it would help distract my mind from my thoughts for a while. Boy, it sure did that! It was cold, raining, and windy. I ended up walking most of the course (started & finished running) rather than trying to do the walk/run intervals I had planned (still only on week 5 of the C25K). By the time I reached the finish line, I was soaked through from head to toe. All I could think about through most of the last mile was just getting to the finish line to try and get dry and warm! What would you do differently?: Heed the weather warning and be better prepared for inclement weather conditions. Post race
Warm down: Walked around for about 5-6 minutes while waiting for a friend of mine to finish. After meeting up with her, we decided to forego the tent and post-race activities and just headed back to the shuttle. We wanted to get back to the hotel to shower and get into some dry clothes. What limited your ability to perform faster: The wind. The rain. The cold. Last updated: 2007-10-05 12:00 AM

Left the hotel on schedule. Grumbled and complained about the rainy weather the whole drive to the shuttle pick-up point. Energy bar and water on the shuttle ride to the starting line.
Walked the 1/2 mile or so from the shuttle drop to the starting line for the 5k. A bit of stretching while waiting for the marathoners to pass before the 5k start.
