My first 10k! It was... interesting! We got down to the race late because Kim wasn't ready on time (grr), and when we got on the marine base the marines gave us vague directions to the race... SO we ended up by a playground and looked up and everyone ran past. We found the sign in place and got our packets and I took off my sweats and hurried and pinned my number on and started really late. Me and Kim darted off and I started running in the wrong direction on a dirt track and had to hurry and turn around, and I slipped and cut up my knees pretty bad and got all muddy. So, muddy and bleeding, I started on my way. The first couple miles I was thinking about stopping and just going home, and I took my time and stopped to find my way a couple times. I started getting into it after I caught up with people, though. It took me 18 minutes to catch up to the guy in last place. In the middle I wiped my face and got my face all muddy. My time was 57 something because I started so late. It felt good after I was done! |
