Pre-race routine:

Oatmeal & coffee for breakfast. Carpooled with the girlies. Huddled in said car to keep warm. Portta-potty stop. Lined up for the race.

Event warmup:

Pretended to be monkeys as we made our way to the starting line.

Comments:

I wish I had taken my lap times because the first mile was over 11 min/mi, the second and third miles were around 10 min/mi, the fourth seemed long and I have no idea what my pace was.

In any case, this course was WAY hillier than the 8k I did last month and I still beat that time. WOOHOO, ANOTHER PR!!!!! Bonus was that my knee gave me zero pain out there!

What would you do differently?:

Considering I had over 2 hard hours of spin class yesterday and my legs were totally fried before even starting the run, I'm super happy with my time!

Post race

Warm down:

Met back up with the girlies, shivered in the cold temps, downed a free IPA, and drove home.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

My voluptuous heiny.
