 Run
Comments: it was great starting out the race surrounded by BT'ers...and i also ran into another friend, michelle, who was doing her first 10k (she was on of the moms i tried to get to tri this year). jay and i crossed the finish line within a couple seconds of each other, and were greeted by his family, my family, and speedy ian. it was great to cheer for kris and michelle as they finished. thinking ahead to this race, i had a goal of finishing around 55 mins. last year i did the same race in 1:02, and my 10k pr is (well, WAS) 56:17. despite being tired, pms'ing, and training that has been way off track,i was still able to meet my goal. it was a harder run for me than last year, since i was pushing harder. only drank at 2/3 water stations and that felt just right. What would you do differently?: stretch more all the time. be better about sticking to my training after the tris are all over. sleep the night before.  Post race
Warm down: immediately plopped down in the grass to nurse fiona. did a little stretching (not enough) and visited with steven, ian, and kris. did the kids race with ella. she wanted to run on her own, but i chased after her to get pictures and cheer for her...but she was too fast for me! i didn't catch up to her until after she finished! after that, the girls were more than ready to go home, so we headed out. What limited your ability to perform faster: stretch more all the time. be better about sticking to my training after the tris are all over. sleep the night before. Event comments: i love this race. even though it was cold this morning, it was still a beautiful day to be in this beautiful park! okay, and the fact that its the AUTUMN woods classic doesn't hurt either! (note to self 74/171 women) pictures!: ella and fi getting face painting; kris, ian, and me in and out of the sun (and kris's beautiful kids!); ella with her race ribbon.

Expert 1135 Delano, MN | Subject: RE: Autumn Woods Classic 10K It was good to meet all of you! I am sorry I bolted without saying good bye but I had a teenage crisis at home (a 15 year old who needed a ride to work ) so I had to bolt. Congrats Autumn on the PB! I also set a PB besting my old pace by 30 sec.s a mile! I don't know what got into me (maybe I should be sick before every race). I'd sure like to see if we could all work some workout times together. I know I am not much of a running partner as I have to race walk due to the knees but maybe something could workout. It is nice to have the support of others. |

| Regular 178 Mound, MN | Subject: RE: Autumn Woods Classic 10K Autumn, I was so cool to come to that last hill and look over and say hi to you. Great race, sorry we too had to bolt to a 6 year olds birthday. Of course we had our faces painted on the way to the car. It was great to meet you and next time, lets plan on the potluck or make a local establishment a meeting place. I cn only take so many half bagels and banans before I need some real food. Jay |

up at 7ish. had some sturdiwheat cereal w/ milk and honey. got some coffee from across the street. horrible night of sleep last night since fiona was up a LOT. thought seriously about DNS i was so tired, but i was looking forward to cheering for the other Bters, and ella was excited to run in the kids race.
got registered. went to the bathroom and rubbed my legs down with that ozone leg warming oil stuff (it burns, but it really seems to help my legs get warmed up on a cold day). did hardly any stretching, which may explain why my achilies tendon was hurting by the end of the race. did a clif shot about 15 mins before the race start
