I had a great race yesterday. I am so happy w/ my time. I finished in 23:49.... that is down almost a minute from my best race this season. (Click here for the results.) My race went really well. I started in the 3rd row and didn't let a single woman pass me. There was a pack of women ahead of me that I saw at the turn-around. I was the next girl. I just couldn't catch up to them. (Story of my life!) Anyway, by looking at the results it appears they did not all stay together. I started out a lot faster than I usually do and I think that helped. My splits are as follows: 1st mile- 7:38, 2nd mile- 8:05, last 1.1- 8:06. It felt really cool to run into the stadium. Running around the track was fun but I was pretty much exhausted by then. I crossed the line 7th female overall and took 1st place in my age group. Both of which I am totally happy about. (Secondary to my time.) The only bummer was that my Dad got called into work and couldn't run w/ me. By looking at the results he would have placed in his age group too. Overall the day was fun. The children were well-behaved at the race and my Mom saved the day by watching them for me. The after party was cool w/ free massages, pizza, and a band. Below are some pics. Peace out!
