Comments: OMG I ROCKED THE PANTS OFF THIS RACE. I have never ever run this fast in my entire life! Look how freaking fast I ran. It was hard. I ran the first 1.5 miles, then at the turn around I walked 0.5 mile, then pretty much ran the rest of the way. I CAN NOT believe how fast I ran. I didn't think I had it in me. When I came up to the finish line and I saw 36minutes, I almost freaked! I could NOT believe it. I felt so so incredibly great. What would you do differently?: Nothing ![]() Post race
Warm down: Walked around, had some gatorade and jambalaya, stretched a little, had an AminoVital - it was tasty - like lemonade, and smiled the biggest smile you've ever seen. What limited your ability to perform faster: After I finish a hard work out, I always feel like I could have gone faster and harder. I did have that feeling today. Last updated: 2005-11-21 12:00 AM

Even though this was "only" a 5k it was my first ever race. The purpose of this race was to become familiar with the racing atmosphere before my 1/2 marathon in February. I had no time goals. Slept well the night before and even stayed in bed for an extra 30 minutes when I woke up. Got up and started to feel very nervous and kinda sick. I could only eat a quarter of a peanut butter/Special K sandwich. My nerves wouldn't let me stomach anything else.
The best part of this race was that I got to wear my brand new custom made t-shirt that said "DFL > DNS" For all you non-math geeks that's a greater than sign. I wore it for the race and I kept telling myself that while I was running.
Just kinda walked around, still nervous. Joked that I was glad that it was a little cold, because people just thought I was shaking from the cold and not from nerves like I really was. Saw H13 and Joannh13. He was running the 1/2 marathon, she was doing her own special 10k race. It was good to see some people that I knew from the website, it calmed me down a bit.
