I signed up for this race a couple weeks ago for fun. My daughter ran the kids K and did awesome, I was worried I was a little too competitive in her race. I may or may not have yelled the words, "lean into the hill!" "Get that kid!" "Beat your cousins!" Yikes, I need to tone it down a bit she did great. Her race was basically my warm up, after the kids race I found Sariah and we warmed up 5 more minutes and did a couple strides. This race was for fun so we didn't care a whole lot how warmed up we were. Sariah went out with me at the start and as soon as we hit the first hill she took off. After I passed the first mile I knew the race was going to be short. But I just kept going with it. When we hit the second monster hill I slowed down a ton so my second mile was slow. But I picked it back up the last .78 of the race and was going 5:54 pace and feeling strong, so I feel confident I would've been just over 19:00 with my other two mile splits of 6:27, 6:51. That was my workout for the week.
