Race: Charitable Trust 5k (National guard 5k) (3.1 Miles) 00:20:12, Place overall: 8, Place in age division: 4

Total Distance

6.20

8th female, 4th in age group 30-34, 37th overall of male & female.

My body must love a 20 minute 5k time. :) I forgot how hard this course it. I also forgot how many elite's show up for this.

Not much to talk about except that I was able to meet Andrea at the start. She's a cute gal. The cannon shot is the worst. It is SO loud! Heart thumping, my goodness.

I know my fitness is there, I was not winded. I know my body does not like to run up steep hills, something I've known for a long long time I need to work on it. But considering how hard this 5k course is, I cannot whine about the time I did. I ran it to help gain some speed before SGM. I need to find a few others as well to run.

Splits: 6:07, 6:17, 6:47 -the hill in the last mile is long and it killed me. But I held my 8th position all through it so I'm okay with it. I missed Allie and fiddy today though :( Oh - also, my Garmin showed the race distance was a little over.

3.1 cool down run

You Rock!! Nice race Lily! I'm thinking about racing another one this summer, but I need to find the right course (ie no hills, I don't like them either). I'm very impressed with our uphill speed!

Awesome! You are one of the elites!

I agree with Oreo! Elect... Elite! I have all the bragging rights to say you are my friend! Great job!

Awesome job Lily!! I'd say you're right up there with those elites as well...I mean you certainly were today!

Great job Lily! Looks like an awesome time on a tough course. 5K's are hard!

nice job, lily! you were just 9 seconds off your fastest 5k time of the year, and the course was much harder today. you are definitely moving in the right direction as you prepare for SGM. i think you held on quite well on that last hill -- it's killer! congrats on your great race today.

i am bummed i missed the crazy cannon start. did they have mysteriously great-tasting apples this year? did you put in a good bid to purchase the soccer stadium?
