Comments:

SUPER crowded for the first mile plus. It was a HUGE turnout this year, up 4000 from last year! Very good for Detroit, but not so good to navigate through! The garmin was dead, I failed at using Coops watch, but hooking up with Fred was good cause he paced me and gave me the feedback I'm addicted to with pace and distance! :-)

What would you do differently?:

Make sure the garmin is CHARGED!!!

Post race

Warm down:

met up with Jo, Coop and finally Ranger! Walked around a bit at Cobo, but cheesed the food cause the line was HUGE!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

CROWDS! But, this is why you go to this race!

Event comments:

This was so much fun this year! I had a blast getting my costume together and saw so many folks I knew! Too fun! I had a good race and got to run with Fred for the first time! This is my second year with Jogo, and is a Turkey Day tradition! The "recovery" wine after the race is too! :-) Being able to run is just one of the many things I give thanks for every year!
