Hyannis 10K RR
Well I have my first race of the year under my belt, and the best I can say is that I perservered!
My first 5K went beautifully and as planned, but the second 5K the lack of training and miles showed. I was pretty footsore and tired by 5 miles, and felt every extra pound I'm dragging.
The second 5K ended up 10 minutes slower than the first 5K which is not the kind of split to put up. I ended up DFL for the 10K, first time that has ever happened to me in a race -- but it was no doubt deserved.
Still, it was a fun, lovely day. We had breeze and sun and around 30 degrees when we took off -- hard to tell what to wear and I had clothes coming off and going back on throughout the race. I'm happy its done, and ready to actually train for the next race -- probably a 5K, maybe even Groton in April. I'm also hoping to get my sister to join me for this race next year.

Glad you had fun. Congrats on getting back into the race scene.
What's this 'deserved' stuff? You went out and ran! Well done!
(you know what they call the person who comes DFL in a running race? A RUNNER)
