Race Report 12/4/10

Race: Jingle Bell Run/Walk

Distance:  5K

Time:  32:25   

Finish:  Overall: 598/1300+,  Gender: 268/800+,  Division: 28/98

Comments:  I joined the Running Mate team for this race, and Wonder Woman and I each had both of our kids in our Phil & Ted's.  It was so crowded it was nearly impossible to run (especially with a stroller).  Walkers lined the entire way, sometimes spread across the route. At 30 minutes, my husband started calling me because he was afraid he'd missed me when I crossed the finish.

Lesson(s) Learned:  Get as close to the front as you can, if you actually want to run at a large run/walk.  My husband had been telling me this after my first 5K in October.
