Notes
Aww the infamous first race gitters got the best of me. I accidentally started with the half marathoners. :cross3: I did fine but my chip time is going to be off because the half marathoners started early. Also, my mileage is off because the race courses were slightly different. So instead of my 5K today being 3.1 miles it was definitely 2.67 (not a 5K). I mapped it out on mapmyrun.com. (Wish I had a garmin so I could be more accurate.) Anyway I didn't hear them and it wasn't written on any of my paperwork that the races were starting at different times. It just said 8 AM. When I got to the first waterstop I asked them and they told me I started with the half marathoners.The reason I was questioning was b/c I knew the race course and most of the other runners had black numbers on although there were a few who had red on like me. The volunteers (Girls on the Run) at the water stop were super nice. I stopped there for about 11 minutes until the 5K people made it to the water stop. I stopped my HRM while I waited. I waited till about the middle of the pack to jump in. I was really upset at the end and was talking to my parents and Mike and I just started crying. It was very frustrating for me. Anyway I'm getting back up on my horse, next weekend there is a Girls on the Run 5K in Forest Park that I am going to do.
