Forums >Racing>First Race!
Ok, so my first race is on Saturday.... the Sandwich Public Library's "Run To Read" 5 miler in Sandwich, Massachusetts.... I just signed up on Signmeup.com, and am really excited... but was wondering a few things: What are some tips you have for doing well in my first race? What should I pack? And how should I train for this last week before my race on 7/7/07? (Lucky day!) Thanks for all your help! I will post a race report and what not after the race!
When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done?

Eh... finished in 55:10... slow than I planned, but I made a huge mistake... went out running first mile in just over 7:30, so I really went to face at the start. Also, we had to cross a street and that took time because the police had to stop the cars.... could have done it in under 55 without that (and the train crossing....)
