I just ran my first 5K yesterday and it was a blast. The time went by so fast! Those are super helpful things to know. I knew a lot of them ahead of time and it made a huge difference. Even though I was a newbie and by myself, I don't think I looked like a newbie because I had "studied up" in advance.

Also, my "crew" was my mom. When I saw her towards the finish line, I hammed it a little for the great photos. I might have run a little better time had I have not been so glad to ham it up! But it was fun!!!!!! You'll be addicted.
Also, asking about the race on RA really helps. You can ask on the forums or in groups. I'm a proud member of LLR and one of the other members, Daisy, lives in the hometown of the race I ran and had ran the same race in previous years. She gave me some clues about the hills, course, etc. and it really helped. |
