Got a last minute ride with friend Tricia, who dropped me off so I could sign up. Also got to chat with Jen (Artemis) and met Kristen(?) (Enders Shadow).
Event warmup:

Does standing in line at the port o potty count?

Comments:

Can you say HOT? Holy cow, was it HOT!!! Started out running with Tricia, but I couldn't keep up. :) I kept my eye on her for a while, though. First mile was under 12 and then I wanted to stay in the 12's, which I guess I did. Funny thing - I was so into calculating when I'd hit mile 3 that I forgot about the 0.1 mile at the end. Didn't have much left by then. Did I mention it was HOT?!
What would you do differently?:

I just need to train more - back to where I used to be. :/

Warm down:

cool washcloth, chips and salsa, watermelon, cookies, water, gatorade, chat.
Oh, and SWEAT, holy cow!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I have a baby who is 5 months old. So training has been limited after a long hiatus.

Event comments:

This is a series of 3 5k's on Monday evenings in July. Seems like it'd be fun to do more than one, though I haven't been able to. It's a friendly race, though. My favorite was the people out on their lawns with hoses, spraying down the hot runners!
