Felt good at the start. Heart Rate jumped into the 180s on the rolling hills. Needed to walk a bit to get the heart rate back down.

Not start as quickly, although I wanted to push my pace to see what I could do. More hill work, since they pushed my heart rate up too quickly.

some streching and walked a bit. Had 1/2 bannana and Gatorade.



Not enough hill work. Working out during the week on the elicptial, is not the same as "pounding the pavement"! I would say for myself, I was not fully prepared. I need more time on the street running.


Not many people knew where the race actually started. Herd Mentality, we just followed the group and found the start. There was one drink station at the 2 mile mark. I did not use it. I also did not stay for the post race activities, since I needed to get home. There were enough volunteers to guide you around the race course.
