I really love local 5K's! It is so cool to see all the runners/walkers out- just really nice to be surrounded by by people who like to be active and like to run vs ones who just think youre crazy. I love cheering on the runners coming in as well as the walkers who you unfortunately dont see out walking nearly enough. I had a blast! I ran with a friend, who finally let her competitive spirit come out and totally whooped me :)I made a PR, but didnt place this time- it was a FAST crowd this go around! The winners in my age group were all 20-22 minute finishers; I wasnt even close with my 24:59 (reported as 25:13-grrrrr) My one and only complaint about this race is the fact that the finish line is not clear... Once you hit the chute, coordinators are telling you to slow or stop, but the times reported dont match the times on the jumbotron; which leads me to think they are telling you to slow/stop too soon. I know 14 seconds isnt much- but thinking I broke 25 minutes was HUGE for me! I couldnt help but be catapulted from cloud 9 when I saw the results on paper :(
Ahhh well, another one down. All fun- loved having all my running friends in one spot doing what we love to do!! Cant wait to do it again!
