Comments: WOW ... I knocked off 7 minutes from my first 5K in May ... funny what a little training will do. I was feeling a little emotional about this race because it's the next baby step toward my goal of a sprint in 2007 ... I've been training for it all summer and it felt so ... 'PERSONAL' ... then the gal started singing the national anthem and we were looking up at the flag flying over the Capitol building and I turned into a BIG SAP. I almost hyperventilated ... gotta work on that for sure. What would you do differently?: NOTHING ... I ran the way I trained and I was pleased with the results. I just have to keep moving forward ... run, run, run ... and get a grip on the whole emotional thing! Post race
Warm down: Walked around Veteran's Park, bottle of water, breakfast ... then a stop at Starbucks for a Caramel Macchiato. What limited your ability to perform faster: NOTHING ... I just have to keep training to get faster. Event comments: This was RYKA Iron Girl's innaugural race in Denver. Start and finish was in front of the Capitol building ... the singing of the national anthem made me cry. Weird coincidence ... there were 231 runners in this race and the one I ran in May. I moved from being 141/231 to being 91/231 ... I have to be happy about that. Post race was fantastic ... tables with white linen, flowers, breakfast burritos, bacon/egg croissants, plus all the regular muffins, bagels, and fruit. Pictures printed at no charge. I loved this race. Last updated: 2006-07-10 12:00 AM
