My race ended up being a little more of a happy face than Tom's did today. : ( Unfortunately he had to walk the last .2 in a lot of pain. Took him 4 minutes to go the last .2. I was happy he could at least hobble across the finish line. He did the 10K and still ended up with 2nd in his age. He's probably down and out for a bit.
I did the 5K and am keeping with my 2010 tradition of 2nd in my age. I had a kick at the end and was trying to beat that 24 I could see coming on that clock, but I just missed it. Oh well. This is a PR for me and I think this course is kind of tough so I am smiling for my effort!
It was fun to have the 1st place girl from a younger division come up to me after and thank me for helping her have the best race she has had.
Tani and Tia made a good choice to get out of bed early this morning and go do the kid's run. Tani decided that she would do the 5K next time.
I guess I'd better go play some tennis and some shuffleboard and swim and sit in the sun for awhile now. |
