 Run
Comments: I love crowds and I think this made me run more. As slow as it was I ran and I felt very comfortable with my stride and especially my breathing. I walked a ALL water stations and hills. I tired to do 10:2 but that didn't work so instead I walked .25 mile and ran the rest, except when I came to the stations and hills etc. I also stopped for the loo and for more vaseline at a med station. I felt fine till around mile 9-10. Then my hips reallllllly started to hurt!!!! @mile 12 my left knee gave way. What would you do differently?: Run longer distances, practice hills and YOGA! Lots and lots and lots of yoga and strength training!  Post race
Warm down: I hot the medic tent as soon as I crossed the finished line as my hands and arms were tingling! They made me lay down, lifted my legs and gave me salt and some ice for my knee. I walked to get the bus then walked around downtown for 20 minutes before heading home. Oh and I grabbed a latte What limited your ability to perform faster: Smoking. Not enough training. No yoga, stretching or strength. All of these would make me a better runner! Event comments: I know! I know! I have never complained SO much about a race. I know that. I had other stuff going down, I was stressed and took it out on poor rock n roll! I apologize RnR! You really were a fantastic race to run! I have never taken part in such a big event with so many people and a HUGE crowd to boot! I am definitely doing this next year!!!!!!!! Last updated: 2009-06-01 12:00 AM

Big races are hard to find your way in but have so much energy that it makes the crowd fighting worth while. |

Had to walk almost 2 miles to the start so plenty of warming up. The traffic to the drop off point was just awful! So I walked most of the way.
See above. When I handed in my gear at the gear check I made my way to my corral. I was passing the start of it when I saw Leslie in Corral #11 so I just joined her.
