The weather has been really nice out so I was really geared up for this race. It was a cloudy morning but it was still supposed to be 65 that day.
I wore a skirt, knee socks and a tank and long sleeve top. I had intended to take off the long sleeve top but it was REALLY breezy down by the water so I kept it on.
The race was nice and there were a lot of attendees. However, there were not bagpipes or bands like there were last year.
I felt good during the race. A few times I got confused about where I was in the course. That's the issue with a course you kind of know...you can mess up your mental thinking pretty quickly I found.
I was steady throughout and felt good. I could have gone faster and I probably should have. However, I was always afraid of running out of steam and I knew that I was signed up for 108 sun salutations at yoga later that afternoon...so I needed to save some.
Over all I took over three minutes off my time from last year, felt pretty good and it gave me a confidence boost for the 10k I'm racing in a few weeks.
I do know I need to work on going faster and even more importantly, feeling confident in my running abilities. I'm looking forward to lots more challenges this year!
