It's fun to write a race report This was my 1st official race ever. My goal when I started training was to do it with a split of 10 min miles. It's a good thing that I pre-registered because we are in Florida on vacation and spent 5 long, tiring days in a row at Disney World. I so would've changed my mind and not done the race at all. Just before I started the race I decided to have a new goal of doing the whole race in under 30 minutes. It was hotter than I'm used to but the air was thicker and it was a beautiful day. It was a pretty big race and exciting. I really pushed myself, especially towards the finish and had a lot of fun. I got to pet a real alligator after the finish and watched some ducks walk the red carpet (they marched from one cage to another along red carpet to some music, pretty goofy.)
Then we spent another whole day at Disney World again...I'm going to need a vacation after my vacation. There was a really cool building near the race, I'll post a picture after we get home tomorrow. I'm quite proud that I met my goal and that I actually got up and did the race after this tiring week. I also did better than I expected. I was 112 of 632 women and there were over 1000 runners total...very exciting to run with everyone. It sure beats running on the treadmill everyday by myself! |
