Run
Comments: I need to HTFU big time. I felt fine the first mile, but something in my head told me it was a good idea if I took a break and walked. I was doing ok though...I guess my body and mind just isn't used to the distance yet. I could have gone farther before having to walk. On a positive note, I was able to out kick and hold off that fast little 10 year old that had been on my heels most of the run. I really kicked it in gear. That girl had no chance! What would you do differently?: Run more...I just need to run more. I've spent a significant amount of my training time on swimming and have neglected the run. I've only been averaging 1-2 runs per week. I simply need to run more. I just figured that all of the working out and the race day excitement would help me to finish w/o having to walk. My body probably could have handled it...but my mind wasn't ready. Post race
Warm down: Grabbed a water and some animal crackers, watched the end of the race, and hung around for most of the awards. I even talked to a nice older lady who'd finished 5th in her AG. What limited your ability to perform faster: Not enough time training...need to run a lot more. Event comments: This is a fun little race. It's for a good cause and the volunteers are all very friendly. Also very well organized...everything ran very smoothly. I had a fun time. Last updated: 2008-02-27 12:00 AM

I rushed through traffic to get there...had to take some back roads because of an accident, but was able to get to the race site with about 25 minutes to spare.
After checking in...I did a little stretching and jogged a bit (for about 3 minutes). I eyed the competition...trying to find my pace setter.
