322

my first race number

like i actually finally with all the talk, ran a race

completed a race

and my time: 30:47 for a 5K
19th in my age division. (not last, still 20 people in my age group that finished after me)

a few thoughts:
1. I wasn't nervous, but i was kind of excited before it
2. I didn't start in the right place - i should have been closer to the front
3. I didn't push hard enough throughout the entire race. I know I could have done it in like 28:00
4. I didn't hurt my shoulder more than it was already in terrible pain from Friday's swim

and now the story behind the story.
the woman that finished at 30:45- 2 seconds before me.
yeah, she won her age group - the 70 and older group.

I was beat by a 70 year old lady.

so my first race - check check

t minus 6 days till the Tri.
