TODAY IS THE DAY!!! Here's to my 1st 5k.

Did awesome for not realizing what a "Trail 5K was" or what that entailed.

1 min before the race Mark, my husband, yells at me while I'm standing at the starting line "Ummm, be prepared for this,  I don't think you realized these were trails." and I yell back, "What??!!" and then I hear the horn go off.... And off I went lol

My heart was beating so fast. I wasn't nervous up until he said that, and all kinds of thoughts were running through my head. Will, I even be able to finish this? What happens if I can't? Wait, a trail? 

We first ran on pavement, then got on our trail which was grass. As I first hit that 1/4 mile, I see the hill up ahead, I thought "Oh MY GOSH, what did I get myself into??!!" I didn't realize, there were hills we had to climb and go down, grass, pavement, and dirt.

Below are screenshots of the trail and my stats

I was making good time for awhile and kept a really good pace. I had 2miles in 20mins. Then that last mile and the few hills I had to climb killed me. Did everything in 35:10

RESULTS

I think I did pretty well and somewhat kept a decent pace for my first race. Had I known it was a "trail" and hills, I would have trained for it!! Ugh... Oh well. Lol I'm proud of myself and Katie. When's the next race??? ; )
