Outdoor Running warm up/down 9:00 [4] 1.0 mi (9:00 / mi)
shoes: Asics Gel 1140
Traffic was soo horrible for the event... I ended up sitting in it for an hour before the race and had to park at U-Village, about a mile away from the start line. I didn't even know if I was going to make the race so I ran it. Made it there just in time to run straight through the beginning of the race. Not ideal to START the race out of breath, but I made it!

They finally posted race results. This time seems much more on track with where it should be...
Felt good as I approached the bridge at mile 2 (or mile 3 for me, if you include my pre-race mile sprint...). I thought I'd beaten the bridge. I start hearing the band playing: "I shot the sheriff... but you did not beat the bridge today..." WHAT? I rounded the corner and sure enough, I got to watch the bridge as it was raised. Dangit!
