Firecracker July 4th Run

Posted by althoffd Jul 4, 2008

My goal was to come in at 50 min.. I did not know how hilly this course was Or I should say rolling hills. This course had you going up and down all the time... So I did not make my time that I wanted... Note to self do my hills in runs..

So I am happy under 52 min new PR for me.. I did stop and walked through the water stations.. It was not to warm and humid yet but I could tell that I needed water when I cam up to a water station.. I think my time is faster then it is posted because this a gun time and i was not up in the front I was more to the middle so It was like a 30 sec - 1 min before I crossed the line marked Start on the Road.. I forgot to hit my watch as I crossed the line I was in a dead sprint for the last 50 yards passing people and crossed in a full stride and had to stop real quick..

So here comes the Lifetime Fitness Triathlon should be fun lets hope this weather keeps up if it was like today it will be a breeze to beat that time to.

Dave,

You will do great at the LTF tri on Saturday. I don't know about your swimming or cycling, but you are getting much faster at running! Have a great race! I'll see you soon.

Going on to my third year of doing Triathalons and starting to do some Running on the side.. Using this to have my family and friends to be able to check out on how I am doing and to see what Races I am doing through out the year
