Although my performance was not that great I am happy with being under 50 minutes. That is something to build on this year.
I went to bed before 9PM but I was still pretty darn sleepy when the alarm went off at 4:15AM
I really really need to prep things the DAY before, not that evening. My play list was good and it helped.
We were a little late getting there, we left the house at 5:20 but was able to get into the garage a little before 6AM. We had some time to rest and chill. At that time there was ample parking. It was $15.
The route was OK, a downhill run to get moving, I looked at my watch and was clocking a little over 15 minute mile. Somone lifted the flag for the 2 mile point but it was for the guys behind us running the 15k. I knew because as I passed that marker it was 22 minutes so I knew it was wrong.
My oldest son was in the B Corral and my Daughter was in the E Corral. I was way back in the L Corral. By the time I got to the start point it was already 30 minutes in and my son was probably coming in by then.
Overall it was fun, a GREAT started for the running season.
