The soft sand sucked the life out of my legs and I walked...ugh! Practiced form and could maintain a stronger pace than previous races.

Warm down:

Walked, ate and drank water.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of training on my part. I was not prepared or soft sand and it really took a toll on me.

Event comments:

I love this local race; its close to home and the crew tries to put on a race to suit everyone. They have included chip timing My only complaint this year is that they did not have Heed or something along those lines at the drink station on the run.
