Comments:

Boy am I slow. I hardly trained for this. I went to the track a few times and tried to sprint a mile each time. This sure didn't seem to help the speed. I'm sure it was the lack of training
What would you do differently?:

Train more. Run faster
Post race
Warm down:

Hung out with the BT-Crew. Trish fed us some yummy strawberries and watermelon!!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of training for this event due to a new puppy.

Event comments:

The T-Rex series are great races. I would recommend them to anyone.

Don't beat yourself up - every event is a learning experience - in this case you learned what adding a puppy can do to your performance   Once he's a little older you'll be running with him and then you'll kick everyone's !!!

I promise that losing a little training time now will be so worth it to spend time with your precious puppy!  I'm so glad I got to snuggle him a little!

Great job!
