 Run
Comments: I had decided to do this race because we were going to be here this weekend anyway (we had tickets to the Panthers vs. Broncos game the next day). So, I was running it just for fun. Since it is a hilly course and I don't usually train on hills, I had planned to slow my pace a bit and enjoy the run. I didn't even wear a watch or HRM because I didn't care about my time or pace. I ended up doing much better than I expected. It wasn't a PR, but it was only about a minute slower than my PR (and my PR was on a flat course). What would you do differently?: Nothing. I had a great time and just enjoyed the run.  Post race
Warm down: I walked through the finish chute. Grabbed a water and banana. Then I made my way through the crowds and back into my hotel. My DH was in the room and told me he had a great view of me crossing the finish line. What limited your ability to perform faster: Nothing. Event comments: This was a good race. It was cold, but I run much better in the cold. The colder it is the faster I seem to be able to run. Last updated: 2008-09-17 12:00 AM

We were staying in a hotel right at the finish line. My DH could actually watch me cross the finish line without leaving the room (and see me better than if he was standing on the side of the road) - so that was what he did.
I didn't get much sleep because of a domestic disturbance in the hall of our hotel the night before (the police had to be called). So, after just a couple of hours of sleep, I got up, ate, dressed and headed for the start line.
I walked the couple of blocks from the hotel to the start line. I went inside the convention center to try to stay warm until the start.
