 Run
Comments: Goals for this race: 1. Survive and not die 2. Run my own race 3. Be faster than Saturday's 5k Somehow I managed to accomplish all of these goals! I started off a bit too fast (running 11:13 min/mile going into my first walk break), so I had to slow down some later one. I tried to stick to running 5/walking 3 because it was so hot and I was feeling under the weather (did I mention I had a stomach bug earlier in the day?). Got passed a ton at the beginning, but I definitely passed people towards the end. Annoyed that there wasn't food left at the end of the race because of all the non-racers eating the food. Sent a message to the race org on Facebook, so hopefully that will change. What would you do differently?: Not much. Good given the conditions.  Post race
Warm down: Walked around, got some water, tried to find food. Chatted quickly with a few people, then drove home. What limited your ability to perform faster: Heat, stomach bug. Last updated: 2013-06-20 12:00 AM

Champion 10550 Austin, Texas | Subject: RE: Cul de Sac 5k 2013 #1 WOOT! Nice job with hitting all 3 of your goals! I hope the food thing changes - that's one of my HUGE pet peeves when non-runners/triathletes/racers start eating all the food for the people who have actually done the race. Grrrrrrr!!! |

Master 9705 Raleigh, NC area | Subject: RE: Cul de Sac 5k 2013 #1 Nice job! I accessed this through your race log and I noticed that your two events this week were very similar in time. I thought to myself, "Now that's consistency!" Then I noticed that the Monday event was faster! Woo hoo! WAY TO GO! I hate it when non racers partake and when organizers put out all the food at once so the people who are faster or do a shorter distance (5k/10k event, for example) get the food and then there is nothing left for me. Boo on the organizers for that! Glad that you spoke up! |

Walked around and picked up bib. Did some calf stretching because they were really really tight.
