OMGosh that was hard but FUN! I'm completely surprised about my pace (8:11). I was wearing long gloves at the start (43 degrees) with my t-shirt so I didn't check my Garmin as much as I usually do. I even stopped to walk for a few seconds up the hills, probably at least 4 times! There were 350 of us running, I finished 15th! I also finished 2nd place for my age group (40-44) and received a nice piece of jewelry. The race was VERY organized, VERY professional! It rained all day Saturday. so the expo wasn't quite as fun as it could have been. I sure hope they come back again next year! I'm very proud of my running girls running in the 5K, they had so much fun and their training paid off! They ran with 734 other 5Kers! They were all in the 10-14 age group. Victoria - Finished in 29:24; 9:30 pace/mi. 94th out of 734. 18th out of 47 in age group Isabelle - Finished in 31:26; 10:09 pace/mi. 143rd out of 734. 23rd out of 47 in age group Katherine - Finished 31:51; 10:17 pace/mi. 156th out of 734. 25th out of 47 in age group Orla - Finished in 36:51; 11:54 pace/mi. 318th out of 734. 30th out of 47 in age group.
