...more info to come

Okey dokey here we go.  I like this race b/c it's small and b/c my sisters do it too. :)  So myself and 4 of my sisters ran.  I did the 10k and they did the 5k.  This was definitely my slowest race ever. ;(  But I blame it on lack of running the past few weeks, increased candy intake & little sleep.  My poor nephew had to go to the ER the night before the race and anywho it was a rough night. 

So I started out with the top 2 ladies.  Buy my lungs just didn't want to go any faster.  They were starting to burn on the 1st mile and the 1st two miles are mostly uphill.  So 1 & 2 girls slowly distanced themselves from me.  Then another girl passed me, but inside I knew all a long I could beat her.  So I let her take the lead and feel the pressure and at mile 5 passed her and never looked back. :)  So I ended up with 3rd overall and 2nd in my age group.

 The mile markers and my garmin never matched up.  So here's the splits from my garmin.  Nothing seems to match up but that's cool.

mile 1-7.07

2 -7.44

3 -7.26

4 -7.41

5 -7.12

6 - 7.02

So not my best race, and I didn't feel that great, but there you go anyway. 
I got the worst head ache later that day too.  ugh headaches suck

 PS my little sister lani too 1st in her ag in the 5k!!!

 

Pictures get your pictures:

 I didn't even know someone was taking my picture.

Starting out, see that form.  And girl in the middle there is the one I passed at mile 5.

Finishing strong and passing girf.

A 44 minute 10k is your worst race ever??? You suck! By that I mean you're totally awesome. Good job on the candy eating. Tell Lani to enter her race report!

From Merri on Mon, Oct 26, 2009 at 15:26:07 from 67.199.179.247

ok so 44 isn't too bad :) I'll tell lani to get right on it. I don't know my actual time b/c I lost my card, but I am sure the results will be posted soon.

From Leandra on Mon, Oct 26, 2009 at 21:26:20 from 76.27.82.55

way to go lady! Please don't ever say that's slow. I would throw up 10 times i if I ran that fast. You run fast and drive faster :)

From Merri on Mon, Oct 26, 2009 at 22:02:43 from 67.199.179.247

ha ha oh yeah I forgot to mention I drive faster than I run and got my first speeding ticket on the way home. I hate iron county and cedar city now.

Yo yo yo pictures get your pictures (in other words I added pictures)

From Burt on Tue, Oct 27, 2009 at 13:58:00 from 68.76.197.194

As I look at those pictures I can't help but think how happy you were and at the same time you had no idea that you would be getting a ticket a few hours later. :(

From Merri on Tue, Oct 27, 2009 at 14:07:23 from 67.199.179.247

I know burt, how could that copper wipe that smile off my face???

From Leandra on Tue, Oct 27, 2009 at 19:22:59 from 76.27.82.55
