 Run
Comments: My goal was sub 7 minute averages. Accomplished that! A GREAT feeling. My worries about starting slow were a non-issue! I got out of the blocks FAST! I felt good for the first 2 miles then my energy level began dropping and breathing became difficult. Legs started getting heavy near the end. If the race had been 4 miles...I'd been in trouble! What would you do differently?: Start more near the front! First 1/3 of a mile I was zig-zagging all around trying to pass runners.  Post race
Warm down: I "dropped" from exhaustion after finishing, also had a queasy stomach. I wished I had brought my inhaler (have athletically induced asthma) as I had troubles catching my breath. What limited your ability to perform faster: Train more (duh!). Event comments: After race Gary, Trixie and I waited to see if Gary or I medalled. After a 15 minute wait, results were posted. Sheet said I finished 4th! Top 3 in each division got medals...doh! HOWEVER. I get home and see on the website that I finshed 3rd?! Huh? Only thing I can think of is that the Iron Turkey participants (they did both the 5K and 10K) were mixed in with regular the 5K. I will need to investigate! It would be soooo cool if I medalled! After race we all went to the Cottage Inn (in Dexter) for sandwiches. Talked a bunch (lol - Trixie's one crazy girl!). =) Last updated: 2004-10-22 12:00 AM

Ate cliff bar. Left Ann Arbor at 7AM, and drank a large coffee in route. Meet Trixie roughly 20 minutes before her race. A TRIMMED down Gary showed up shortly after. Trixie's 5K was at 9AM, while Gary and I weren't scheduled to run until 11:30. So we had LOTS of time inbetween to chat!
Learned a slew of exercise/ stretch moves...like the scrunching(?) catapillar! =)
Gary and Trixie took plenty of pics...
Ran roughly 1.5 miles, 25 minutes before race. Took a honey gel.
