The race is finally behind us. Phew. We all survived and did pretty well for our respective abilities, except for me. I was disappointed with my performance. Even though I improved from last year I didn’t hit my goal time. I’m really looking forward to next year’s race. I’m really obsessed with achieving my goal. Next year I promise to keep away from all dairy products too.

My time was 2.11, improved 8 minutes from last year.

N did awesome. For not training as hard as Hotbod and myself he really kicked some arse. Plus, with his bad knees and all the downhill really got him. I'm so proud of him for making the effort to come out and run even though it was very painful for him.

So now the next big race on the docket is a half. Hotbod has been harassing me to do one with her. Last year we had agreed that we were going to complete one together but I ended up flaking out on her. This year I’ve promised to fulfill my pledge. According to the training schedule I got off the net we’re supposed to start training already for this thing. Still don’t know what my pace should be either. At this point my goal is completion while keeping a steady jog.

Also, while having some drinks after the race on Saturday someone asked me about adventure racing. I’ve secretly wanted to participate in these ever since I heard ‘round the water cooler that some of the workout buffs do these. My only concern is that I am not as physically fit as the rest of the gang. Someone else told me that I should find a team of my like abilities but I really don’t know how to go about this. Hotbod is really interested also and I’ve already told her that we have to be on the same team since we’ll average out as normal, her with xtra endurance and me with not-so xtra stamina. We’ll see I guess.
