Munched a Clif Bar, grabbed the dog and headed out. I was running a little late.

Comments:

This was a fun race. Almost everyone had a dog with them! I took Barry and he did well. He didn't want to speed up when I realized I had extra energy in the last mile, but that was ok since this was mostly a training run and just for fun. The time is a little slow because we had to stop for a poop and to let Barry drink some water at the aid station.
What would you do differently?:

Not much. If I was there to be fast, I wouldn't have brought Barry!
Post race
Warm down:

Walking around the expo, some stretching.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Barry, but that's ok.

Event comments:

Very fun 5k! I would definitely recommend it to dog lovers!!!

Awww, Barry is too freakin cool.  And they had aid stations?  that's cool!

Nice race, even though you turned down my $10 for the group bike ride.

Hey Kim,

Sounds like a cool run.  Judging from the name of the race, I guess you are expected to bring your dog.

Thanks guys! It was a fun race! It benefitted the CSU Vet Med Hospital... they saved Barry's life once, so it was a fitting race for us to do together!

Barry's report is very enlightening..reading your report I assumed that you had to stop for Barry to poop...never assume.

La Rakusillian - 2005-04-28 8:47 PM I love that your dog is called Barry! That cracks me up and I don't know why... Great race!

Because it's the best dog name ever! He's named for Barry White because he's a lover-dog. He even sings for his dinner... in a low, sultry voice!
