Pre-race routine:

up at 6:30. Washed up, figured out what to wear. Yogurt smoothie for a pre-race snack. Got everything together and then headed over.

Event warmup:

Registered; walked; stretched; talked to a guy in a Kinetic Triathlon t-shirt. Seems that he liked the cold rainy weather; said that it was better than it being too hot.

Comments:

Wow, my pace was just insane! I've never run that fast over this distance. A PB for sure!

I looked down at my watch about half way into the first mile and it showed a sub 8min pace; I couldn't believe it, but my legs kept it going. I kept wondering when the wheels would fall off. I guess it happened in the third mile, and then it was all about just holding on during the last, ALL UPHILL mile. That was hard!

I never passed a single runner! Still, this is a PB at this distance by far!

Good fun!

What would you do differently?:

pace myself better?

Post race

Warm down:

walked, stretched, talked to a few people. Mr Kinetic was sitting on the curb looking pretty tired; said he'd had a good race.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I exceeded all my expectations, what more could I do?!?

Event comments:

very well organized, right on time. I'll definitely look to do more races in this series.
