October 30, 2010 (Morning)

Exercise Type: Run

Weather: 45 degrees, sunny, perfect!

Comments:
Great race! Cool t-shirts, Great Trophies, fun decore/costumed race, nice facilities (Sam Houston Horse Race Park), real restrooms, great staff, flat, fast (but boring) course. Mia, Grace, Sophie ran 1K. We trained just enough to teach them about pacing; they ran really well. Mia: 4:32 2nd place (6-8); Grace 5:21 4th place (6-8, ouch); Sophie 7:42 6th (5 and under). Me? A post-USMC 5K PR good enough for 2nd place (35-39). Wore spidie tighties with grey Nike fitted ss shirt & black (non-running) socks with blue wave shoes and black gloves. Good attire for conditions. Slightly shorter warm up of .3-ish miles. Half-bagel/banana at 1-hr prior; slightly thirsty at start.
