Yikes...
Since I'm a newbie, I haven't figured out how to pace myself during a race yet. I think I start out too fast, dodging all of the slowpokes at the start (sub-9 minute mile!), then pooping out halfway (12 minute mile). The course was a lot narrower and more crowded than the SV Marathon, so there was quite a bit of dodging required.
And at mile 5, the 10K course merged with the 5K walking course, at the narrowest part of the Guadalupe Trail. 7,000+ people on a trail that's 6 feet wide? Really?
Oh, well. We had a great time, anyway!
Time to look for another race! Wharf-to-Wharf? Bay to Breakers? Who wants to sign up with me?
Hello?
Afterwards, a huge Thanksgiving throw-down at Stew & Trish's.
The brown sugar cinnamon ice cream turned out pretty well. I think I'll make it for obon.
