Notes
My first real race. Several hundred runners/walkers/race walkers. Course was mostly level and 2000' lower than where I train. I had more energy, but still did some walking; it was hard not to walk when I was tired and passed som many walking. It was a good experience and I'm glad I did it, but wow, other runners my age are twice as fast as I! Something to work on. Marty was not overly solicitous but was fairly nice about the whole thing. Neither of us got much sleep the night before as he got in from a business trip at 1:30 AM. Before the start, at the lineup, I got to talking with a little old lady who started running 10 years ago to quit smoking! She was in the 71-90 yo division and finished 1 minute before I did!
