CRAZY town day. Haha
Soooo I woke up at 6 in the morning (all by myself- crazy, right? Right.), went and got Jesse at the guy’s dorm (he stayed with David) and met Madison and her roommate Amy at their house to leave for the 5k!
SO- we were like 10 minutes away when there was a scary pop noise behind me. So Madison’s tire had split and the fibers were coming out of it. So weird. Her grandpa came and picked us up at the gas station we pulled in to.
We got to the race right at 8 I think, and we were speed registering Jesse when the race started. Sooo we got like a 3 or 4 minute late start. Sad day.
Sooo yeah, the race went well. It was a really pretty/scenic route. I didnt start hurting until about 1.75 miles when my shoulder started pinching and I started whining.
Anyway, we finished at 42 (nearly 43) minutes which, with our delay means that I definitely beat my time of 42:50 that I did at the Haiti 5k! WHOO!
Fun.
Yay for free fruit and water after races!! Haha
Our first fake finish! Haha- we have to buy the real finish pictures if we want them! Haha
Oh! I forgot to say that my time was 42:53 (the official standings, of course it really was shorter cause of the lateness, you know?) So I was 114th place overall (I think there were 215 people racing). I was 8th out of 20 in the Athena (150+pounds weight class) division. So that is cool.
Our second fake finish! Haha. Those balloons really were the finish line... but they were tied down and stuff.
AH! and I ALSO forgot… they gave out door prizes after the race by the numbers on the purple bracelet things that they gave us at some tent, and of course there were 200+ people there and the odds of winning are slim, right? WELL the first doorprize was a $25 gift card to Wal-Mart and went to number 84158…. “Oh my gosh, thats meeee!” Hahaha SO that was pretty awesome. =)
