Re: Weekend Racers, c'mon in!
I'm running a La Carrera de la Mujer, a 7.2k race. (the race was originally 6.5k but they moved the route and the distance increased). It's been raining for literally a week so I'm hoping that it stops for the race on Sunday. My fingers are crossed.
ETA: I just picked up my shirt, bib, etc. In the bag they also included a blister bandaid and a sample of suncreen (makes sense...) and a container of fiber enriched milk, a can of nonalcoholic beer and a bottle of "intimate cleansing gel" (so weird...)
I enjoy the course. It isn't pancake flat, but it isn't hilly (maybe some minor up and downs). In good weather, it would be a great course to PR on. It is a good mix of downtown Frederick, neighborhoods, and I think I remember passing by a farm towards the end. I was pretty sick by that point, so my memory is blurry, lol. It was the combo of red powerade and heat that did me in. I haven't touched a sports drink since! I liked the finish in the fairgrounds, and there was good crowd turn out/volunteers for a mid sized race.

Im running my 2nd race ever (woot!) Sunday, a 10k. Im crazy nervous! Im mostly just freakin a little about the beginning of the race, b/c we are running the 1st leg of a marathon relay...which is also the start for a full & a 1/2 marathon, so there will be TONS of people all starting @ the same time. I don't want to get trampled (haha) or unintentionally get pushed (not literally) to run faster then Im used to/plan on/for my pace...etc...
Anyway DH ran the route today & I picked him up @ the end (yes, that was planned), so we drove home the route we are running Sun, it should be....ok....There are a few hills which Im freaked about, plus the longest I've ever run is just over 5miles, but Im just hoping to cross that finish line running! I don't care what my time is!
Good Luck everyone!
Haha! That's a new one!
