Comments: Since I did not run more than 8 miles training for the race and that was at 9'/mile I had little expectations. We got to the race and by the time we parked and I waited to use the restroom the race already started. I was one of the last people to start. I was literally sprinting to the start line so they would let me start. They had downtown shut down for the race and there was alot of specators out chearing. Down town is very old and historic. You run by all the shops and old brownstones. I would look down and see my pace and slow down or I knew I would hit the wall. I ran by myself for about the 1st 2 miles and then started passing packs of people at the end. I think this helped out as well too because I really never ran with anyone who ran my pace not even at the end. I really don't remember much I was just out trying to have fun. I thought I would be good until around mile 10 and then would have to walk. Well mile 10 came and went and I did get tired but never really slowed down. This is amazingly a PR for me and my other races I actually trained. What would you do differently?: I would normally say train more but I did pretty good. Post race
Warm down: Stood around in the race and waited for my cousin to finish. What limited your ability to perform faster: Lack of training Event comments: This is a great race and a very fast course for the average person. Reminded me alot of White Rock in DFW. Last updated: 2009-02-23 12:00 AM
