 Run
Comments: I ran the whole course! Walked a few steps when grabbing water from drink stations. Was kind of surprised there weren't that many drink stations. Max was kind enough to let me "re-fuel" from his bottle. We talked the whole way, which helped passing time. Also had music with earphone on one ear so I was runing with Mozart's sonatas for piano and violin in the backgroud. Around mile 5 I got warm and took off the longsleeve shirt. What would you do differently?: Bring my own water bottle. I forgot about it this morning. Didn't want to carry my 1 L bottle to run.  Post race
Warm down: walked a bit and stretched by the curb side. Then get into the school cafeteria to get something to eat. Saw the Hoyts. Took pictures with them and talked to them a bit. What limited your ability to perform faster: First 15k. This is a personal record :) Event comments: My longest run distance ever. I'm glad I did it. Was a bit nervous coz I went from doing 5 miles 3 weeks ago to 7.2 miles 3 days ago to a 15k today. That's almost double the distance. I'm glad Max got me into it. Otherwise I wouldn't even thought of doing it. Last updated: 2006-03-30 12:00 AM

Champion 19812 MA | Subject: RE: Boston Tune-up 15-K Sounds like this was a changer for your Denise! Awesome race, super pace...lots of great stuff! You are so going to have an awesome Tri season. I agree running long is more about your mind accepting that you can do it. And you did your longest run prior to this just a couple days ago! PB in style...you go girl! 1/2 Mary is on your radar screen? |

Elite 3201 South Florida | Subject: RE: Boston Tune-up 15-K Way to go DK!! You didn't know if you could do it and look at that - you finished and were fast too! Forget lugging a water bottle - now that you're running these long distances you need a fuel belt. |

Woke up, got ready, ate cereal and drank coffee. Sipped on gatorade while driving about 40 min to race site. Found Max, parked next to his car.
Jogged back and forth to register and use bathroom.
Debated whether I should be wearing the longsleeve or shortsleeve shirt. Was a bit chilly when start, due to raining a bit. I figured I'd do better when warm so I wore both.
