Comments: Just jogged at a nice pace with a fellow teacher and a former student. Skipped the aid stations because they were super crowded and I had water waiting at the finish line. :) What would you do differently?: Nothing.  Post race
Warm down: Waited by the finish area for about 10 minutes to find out which of my students made it to the race and congratulate them! There were about 10-12 kiddos from school who showed up! Then, found my wife at our meeting spot and got ready for the 10K start! Last updated: 2013-02-03 12:00 AM

This is the 5K that precedes the annual Super Bowl 10K by the ocean here in Redondo Beach. This year, like last, I challenged the fifth graders from my school to come out and run the 5K. They were all motivated with a one week homework pass if they could beat either me or our school principal. Well the principal texted me 10:30 the night before the race to say she had a fever and was skipping the race. So, all the kids would beat her. (full disclosure, everyone who showed up and finished the course get the homework pass. :) I planned to do this race with the kids, then do the 10K with my wife.
Rode my bike downhill 3 miles from home to the start line. I got to the spot I told the kids to meet. (about 200 yards behind the start line) I only found one student with her dad.
