Comments: Went out very fast for first mile...surprised myself!!! 6:45-50 ish, and that was weaving in and out of people! Definitely should have heald back a bit, but still it's nice to know my legs could still do that!........ The second mile was a bit of a struggle, I wish I could have seen my 2nd mile split time. I kicked into gear for the last mile, and especially the last 1/2 mile. What would you do differently?: Keep a consistent pace  Post race
Warm down: Mingle, cheer more people on, eat lots of food! What limited your ability to perform faster: Nothing, didn't expect much, used it more as a training day! Event comments: Very well organized event. Great post race activities: a BBQ, beer garden, raffle, live band, the works! It was great fun......... This year was 63/253 ovrall, 11/113 women, 4/24 in my age group. BEAT LAST YEAR'S TIME!.......... Last year was 188/371 overall, 65/193 women, 17/43 in my age group (20-29) with a time of 26:05. Hope to beat that this year!!! Last updated: 2004-08-09 12:00 AM

Expert 833 Adrian, MI | Subject: RE: Port of Seattle Firefighters 5K Fun Run Wow! You went FAST!! Especially considering that you're coming off an injury and are just getting back in the game, right? Curious. What kind of stamina do you have, i.e. could you maintain this kind of pace for a 10K? |

Extreme Veteran 572 Seattle, WA | Subject: RE: Port of Seattle Firefighters 5K Fun Run I tore my ACL last January and then a bit of cartilage this past January (what is it about that month??). I didn't do much until the end of June, so I guess you could say I'm coming back. I think it's all of the residual training from HS (x-ctry)...yes, that was 5 years ago, but I think it takes a very long time for that to leave!!! As for being able to hold that pace, I'm not sure. I recently did about 8:30 for 4.5 miles while talking the entire way. So I'd say that I would probably have to slow down to 7:45-8 min pace for a 10K race. I'm going to try and do one soon, so I'll let you know!!! :-) |

Woke up, ate a banana, and Brian drove me to the event. Mingled a bit.
Mile jog, stretched. Watched the kid's fun run, did some high knees/butt kickers
